FOREWORD 



In presenting this book to the public, the author 
has aimed to review the earlier history of the Airedale 
and, if possible, to help the novice avoid some of the 
pitfalls and stumbling blocks in the zuay of becoming 
a breeder of ''good ones," and of knowing them m 
and out of the show ring. 

Thanks are due to Mr. W . L. Barclay, Mr. John 
McGough, Mr. C. H. Mason, Mr. Walter Reeves, 
Mr. Emmctt Warburton and the works of Mr. Buckley, 
Mr. Phillips, Mr. Haynes and Mr. J civet t for helpful 
information. 



CHAPTER I 



The Early Days of the Airedale in England — Origin of the Name — First 
Show Dogs— "Bruce" Father of the Breed — Influence of Master 
Briar on the Strains. 

Classes were first provided for Airedale Terriers at the Airedale Agri- 
cultural Society's show held at Bingley, Yorkshire, England. Soon after 
Skipton, Bradford, Keighley and Otley provided classes for Airedales. This 
first show was in 1879 and the shows at Bingley remained for some years 
the principle Airedale show, when the show at Otley, given by the oldest 
Agricultural society in England, became the chief Airedale show, the Otley 
-gold medal for Airedales being for many years considered the premier honor 
for the breed. Later still, London, The Great Joint and other Southern 
shows were held and the popularity of the Airedale firmly established 
in England. 

The name Airedale was selected at a meeting of fanciers of the Bradford 
district of the West Riding of Yorkshire some time previous to the Bingley 
Show of 1879, and was selected from the fact of the breed having originated 
in the dale (valley) of the river Aire, one of the tributaries of the Ouse, 
as were also the rivers Wharfe. Colne, and Calder, all household names in 
early Airedale history. 

Some correspondence in the "Live Stock Journal" occurred in 1878 in 
regard to a name for these "Waterside Terriers," for which classes had 
been provided at the local Yorkshire shows for some time. Mr. E, Bairstow 
of Bradford, one of the earliest fanciers, whose kennel prefix "Rustic*' was 
very well known in the early Airedale exhibitions, in some interesting notes 
in the "Dog Owners' Annual," published in 1894, wrote, 

"This breed owes its origin to the working and middle class in- 
habitants of Airedale and surrounding districts ; take Bradford as 
a center and say a fifteen mile radius. About fourteen years ago or 
perhaps more, the local dog societies commenced making classes for 
them as 'Waterside Terriers' at their annual shows, until they at 
last gained the highest number of entries, on some occasions upward 
of two hundred at one exhibition; in fact the large number entered 
at one of the Bingley gatherings held at the show of the Airedale 
Agricultural Society caused the surprise of a popular dog judge 
(Mr. Hugh Dalziel) who said to the committee 'These Waterside 
Terriers are very good, and » seem to be constantly increasing in 
numbers and popularity. Why not give them a proper name? They 
are worthy of it I am sure.' Every one present agreed, and after 
much discussion the name of Airedale Terrier was decided on, 
seeing this was the Airedale Show, and that the variety was always 
well represented there." 

The consensus of opinion among those qualified to know is that the 
breed itself originated from the Old English Terrier and the Otter Hound, 
probably the local working Terriers used along the waterside being used 



on Otter Hound bitches to improve the water qualities of the working 
terriers. The Old English Terrier, weighing from 25 to 30 pounds was a 
strong, fearless, tyke, good dog for vermin and dead game, but lacking 
the power of scent. The Otter Hound supplied this, was on the spot, and 
improved the terrier's watermanship. Frequent crosses were probably made 
until a new type of larger and stronger terrier was evolved, becoming 
known as the "Waterside Terrier," and eventually the Airedale. 

The first prominent show Airedales, were Champion Bruce, Champion 
Wharf edale Rush, Mr. Tom Carr of Keighley's Crack, Mr. Horsfall's 
Trimmer. Champion Vixen III was quite one of the best of that day, with 
a coat like wire, owned by Mr. Walker of Bradford. Mr. Bairstow's dogs 
Rustic Twig, Rustic Lad, and Ch. Rustic Kitty, this last a very fine bitch, 
were quite the best earlier ones. 

To quote from Mr. Bairstow again, "At the time when the Airedale 
received his name, one called 'Bruce' was at the head of the breed, and 
I think we might confer on him the honor of being called the Father 
of the Breed." 

Bruce sired Ch. Brush, whose daughter Bess, bred to a dog named 
Rattler sired Mr. John G. Horrock's "Airedale Jerry," who was the sire 
of Mr. H. M. Bryan's Ch. Cholmondeley Briar, from whom nearly all the 
best show Airedales have descended. Briar was bred to a bitch named 
Rosamund by Newbold Test, another early winner and produced Briar Test, 
who mated to Betty by Mr. Maude Barrett's A. P. Bruce, produced the 
great Champion Master Briar, the founder of the modern Airedale. 

Master Briar from the description of him written hy those who saw 
him, must have been a good one himself, quite comparable to many of our 
best twentieth century Airedales. Master Briar sired Clonmel Monarch, 
later exported to Philadelphia. In England Monarch was sire of Ch. Tone 
Regent, Ch. Broadlands Royal Descendant, and Ch. Clcnmel Bed Rock, and 
a lot of good bitches, which afterwards produced many good ones. Ch. 
Clonmel Monarch sired Clonmel Chilperic who mated to Clonmel Loyal, a 
granddaughter of Master Briar produced Ch. Master Royal. Master Royal, 
mated to Madame Briar, a daughter of Ch. Master Briar sired Ch. Midland 
Royal, a noted sire, whose daughters particularly were great producers. He 
sired Midland Rollo, in turn a good sire, Midland Marvin, Mistress Ida, 
Woodgreen Squire, etc., and a bitch which bred to Tintern Desire produced 
Ch. Tintern Royalist. 

Crompton Marvel was another son of Ch. Master Briar out of the 
noted brood matron, Woodland Judy, who also produced to Master Briar, 
Ch. Colne Lucky Baldwin, Crompton Marvel never became a champion, but 
proved a very useful stud. He was a laster and a real terrier. Marvel 
sired Ch. Crompton Almida, Ch. Crompton Performer, Ch. Huckleberry 
Lass, Ch. Freeman Terror, Briarcan Sultan, and Caerphilly Marvel. The 
latter three exported to America. Freeman Terror sired Oakroyd Terror, a 
very high class terrier that the writer saw in England a number of years ago. 
Oakroyd Terror was the sire of Ch. Kenmare Conjurer, which brings us 
down to many present day winners in America. Another son of Crompton 
Marvel was Marvellous Boy, in turn sire of Kindale Crack, an Otley Medal 
Winner, and sire of Granite Invader, Granite Glitter, etc., winners a few 
years ago in this country. 

Crompton Marvel's greatest son was Ch. Crompton Oorang, an old dog 
in 1911, when the writer saw him at the Wolverhampton Show, but still 
showing with fire. He was the sire of Ch. Prince of York, who in turn sired 

1(1 



Ch. Clonmel Command, Endcliffe Commander, sire of the great bitch Ch. 
Yickery Soubrette, Ch. Bothwell Sorceress, Clonmel Hearts Key, an English 
winner, Larchmere Proud Prince, sire of Larchmere Pretender, and some 
of the lovely Larchmere bitches, Princess Peggy and Bilmer Constance out 
of Ch. The Marchioness. Ch. Clonmel Imperious was a daughter of Cromp- 
ton Oorang and in Canada, his son Ch. Rockey Oorang, sire of Ch. Flornell 
Oorang, Ch. Clonmel Isonomy, Abbey Master Magic and Ch. King Oorang. 
Among the get of the latter are Ch. Afton Queen Oorang, Ch Baughfell 
Briar, Baughfell Sceptre, and King Oorang bitches proved good producers. 
Fair Play and Heart's Desire from Gay Lady, and Ch. Geelong Cadet from 
Tanglewold Titania, producing the best. 

From a breeding point of view, Crompton Oorang's greatest son was 
Tintern Desire, one of the breed's greatest sires. His blood has produced

a large percentage of the best winners in both England arid America. 
Desire sired Ch. Tintern Royalist, one of the best Airedales ever shown in 
America, Ch. Woodhall Bobs, Ch. Springbank Sceptre, Ch. Vickery Vesta, 
Ch. Dargle Deputy, Ch. Springbank Sunshine, and the famous brood matron 
Brosna Bacchante, winner of two English Championships, including Crufts 
in 1910, imported by the writer in 1911. Bred to Uncle Sam, whose breeding 
we will refer to again, she produced the great bitch Bingley Blossom, twice 
a Garden winner. Bacchante was also dam of Ch. McConnell's Queen, and 
granddam of Ch. Killarney Christmas Bells, Ch. Killarney Regent, and 
Tanglewold Terror, whose ability as a sire lay in producing bitches who 
have produced winners, also sire of Ch. Geelong Cadet, Lucknow Homespun, 
etc., and grandsire of Ch. Brookhaven Laddie, Mystery Marchioness, etc. 
Thus we see how the blood of Master Briar traces directly to a host 
of the best winners' of the last fifteen years and through them to those dogs 
that are doing the winning today.

CHAPTER IT 



History of the Breed in America — Ch. Clonmel Monarch and His 
Philadelphia Connections — Early New York Fanciers and Their Dogs 
— Some of the Boston Admirers of the Breed. 

The first Airedale imported to America was probably Ch. Bruce, brought 
over in 1881 by Mr. C. H. Mason. He was, however, too far in advance of 
the times, and I believe the dog was sold and lost track of. Broadlands 
Brushwood owned by Hopkinson and Mallorie was probably the first Aire- 
dale shown in America. Waterside Wizard, Twig, and a bitch called Rosebud 
were among the earlier Airedales imported, but it was not until around 
1900, that the breed really got its start in America. 

In England, Master Briar was really the start of the modern Airedale, 
and in America Master Briar's greatest son Ch. Clonmel Monarch can be 
looked upon as the father of the breed. His dam was Richmond Peggy, a 
sound heavy bitch, which stood close to ground on fair legs and feet, she 
had a nice eye and ear, but was light in tan. Her dam was Richmond Nell, 
a light-eyed specimen with a wavy coat. She had a very good ear. Ch. 
Clonmel Marvel was the sire of Peggy. In England the blood of Monarch 
descends through his grandson, Ch. Master Royal, whose sons, Ch. Midland 
Royal and Elruge Monarch, both imported in their later days to America, 
were very successful sires, and they appear in many of the pedigrees of 
today's American winners. Through the dam's side, Elruge Monarch was 
the sire of Gaelic Huzzar, known on this side as Soudan Swiveller, who is 
still alive at this writing, and this blood was particularly valuable in improv- 
ing color and texture of coat, red tan, length of heads, and dark eyes. 
Elruge Monarch also sired the great show and brood bitch Bracknell Bitter- 
sweet, in America known as Ch. Larchmere Bittersweet. She did the breed 
in America an immense amount of good. These English descendants of 
Clonmel Monarch later imported to America, helped along the breed 
greatly, showing the great strength in this line of blood. 

Clonmel Monarch himself was imported by Mr. C. B. Newbold of 
Philadelphia, who may be said to have started the fancy in that city, the 
cradle of the breed in America. Monarch's best son in America was Ch. 
Red Raven, twice a Garden winner. He also sired Ch. The Chorister, Ch. 
The Gamecock, Ch. The Marchioness, Ch. Tanglewold Una, and the very 
useful stud Wyndhill Vandal. 

The first two dogs of note of the Monarch strain shown in America were 
the litter brothers Ch. Farleigh Mikado and Ch. Wyndhill Tackle, sired by 
Crosswick's Dandy, a son of Monarch out of Crosswick's Beauty, and bred 
by Mr. A. E. Newbold of Philadelphia. Mikado's ears set on a bit low and 
his skull was peculiarly formed, but he was a grand Airedale, and good 
enough at seven years of age to be runner-up for the Wissahickon Gold 
Medal, at that time like the Otley medal in England, the premier honor an 
Airedale could win in America — to Ch. Pilgrim Yellow Jacket. Mikado can 

12 



be placed even today as one of the best half dozen Airedales bred in 
America. For some strange vagary neither Mikado or Tackle ever accom- 
plished anything as sires. 

The next pair of winners were Ch. The Gamecock, and The Barrister, 
the latter was a great favorite with many, both bred by Barclay and Johnson, 
out of the imported bitch Colne Miracle, bred by Mills and Buckley by 
Clonmel Marvel ex Clonmel Sensation. Gamecock was sired by Monarch 
and The Barrister by Wyndhill Vandal, by Monarch out of Crosswick"s 
Sweet Briar, a daughter of Ch. Master Briar. Vandal was bred by C. B. 
Newbold. Like all good sires he had great individuality. 

Ch. Red Sunlight was a very good bitch bred by R. H. Johnson, Jr., 
and was by Vandal ex Red Queen, by Monarch ex Red Hackle, by Penhros' 
Mustard out of Bowling Doris, two early New York importations. Ch. 
Hedgeley Flash was bred the same way. Red Queen was also dam of the 




OLD ENGLISH TERRIER AND RABBIT (From a Painting by G. 
Armfield, reproduced from "Jesse's Anecdotes of Dogs") 



great brood matron York Vixen by York Masterpiece, another son of Master 
Briar. Vixen proved to be of great use in New York. 

Probably the best Airedale owned by Mr. Barclay was Ch. Wyndhill 
Diana, also bred by Mr. Johnson. Diana defeated Ch. Babs, Ch. The 
Marchioness when at their best, and also Ch. Endcliffe Radiance and Dum- 
barton Sunshine, two of the best imported bitches of that period prior to 1910. 
Diana also defeated Ch. The Gamecock for the special at Danbury, the oldest 
dog show in America, and then one of the "hot" Airedale Shows. She was 
by The Gamecock ex Blue Gown, another daughter of Vandal. 

Ch. The Chorister and Ch. The Norseman were bred by Mr. Lynford 
Biddle, who for what he accomplished in the time he was in the Airedale 
game, must always be accorded a place as one of the very few master 
breeders we have had in Airedales in America. The Chorister was by 
Monarch ex Dumbarton Vixen, a daughter of Master Briar, and The Norse- 
man by The Chorister ex Ch. Babs by The Gamecock ex Dumbarton Vixen 
and also bred by Mr. Biddle. Ch. The Marchioness was bred the same as 
The Chorister. Her daughter, Princess Peggy and Bilmer Constance, were 
very high class bitches, both of whom proved good producers, Constance 

13 



Icing dam of Ch. Bilmcr Bingo and granddam of Bilmer Melody, Fol- 
der Rol, etc. 

At his best, Ch. The Norseman could more than hold his own with any 
of the Airedales shown in his time or since, and like Mikado will rank as 
one of the best half dozen American bred Airedales of any time, and in the 
opinion of many leading fanciers, quite at the top of the list. 

Ch. Red Raven, twice a Garden winner, was probably the best ever bred 
by Mr. Johnson, who with Mr. Barclay as partner, and later by himself, has 
done first and last an immense deal for the benefit of the breed. Red Raven 
never did much as a sire, though he sired three champions. Sitting Bull, 
when at his best, was a good one by Raven out of York Vixen, and Mr. 
A. B. Dalby's Longhill Doris was an excellent bitch out of Ch. Longhill Peggy. 

There were, of course, many more good Airedales about Philadelphia 
which have not been mentioned. Riding Master, Cricketer owned by Mr. 
Thomas Cadwalader, Air. William Whittem's wonderful bitch Ch. Ingaflora, 
as a bitch in the same class as Mikado and Norseman, also twice a Garden 
winner. Her breeding will be seen later in taking up the earlier dogs about 
New York. Red Hackle, and Mr. Barclay's old timer Wyndhill Bristles, 
one of the first American bred ever shown, was one that would compare 
favorably even with today's winners. Most of the Philadelphia bitches of note 
have been mentioned. 

The greatest brood matrons were Dumbarton Vixen, by Master Briar, 
Colne Miracle, Crosswick's Beauty Vampire, Crosswick's Sweetbrier, Hast- 
ing's Duster, Red Queen, Ingafield Lady, etc. These earlier bitches as a 
whole were not so good as those in the next decade, that is after 1910, such 
as Polam Milkmaid, Briergate Brightlight, Vickery Soubrette, Lucknow 
Dream, Larchmere Perpetua, Princess Peggy, Bingley Blossom, etc. 

Around 1906 the competition in bitches was very keen and there were 
many good ones shown, New York beginning to come to the fore again from 
Mr. Arden's first start, as the Philadelphia strain commenced to go to seed. 
Kismet Kestral and Maude, two of Mr. J. H. Brookfield's strain, Mr. Offer- 
man's York Victoria, Ingaflora, Red Sunlight, Babs, Wyndhill Diana, and 
Pretty Florrie, were all good ones having their ups and downs in the show 
ring. Rowsley Regina was another winner of this time. Pretty Florrie was 
an imported bitch having been sent over to Mr. Bro.">kfield by Mr. George 
Raper. She was by the same sire as Ch. Legram's Prince and Briarwood 
and the dam of Ch. Bolton Woods Briar, Studholme Spark, who was by 
Mr. Emil Sasches' great English winner, Studholme Sherry by Briar Test, 
and going back to Mr. Bairstow's Rustic Rushlight, a grand coated and 
colored one. Pretty Florrie had the distinction of producing the last litter 
sired by Ch. Clonmel Monarch, born at Hornell, New York, December 22, 
1907, It contained Hot and Maid Marion, two fair ones, and Ch. Tanglewold 
Una. She was not shown until nearly four years old, but had a great time 
of it for her owner, Mr. J. N. R. Bryant, who was fortunate enough to 
purchase her as a puppy for forty dollars. She was a very stylish bitch, 
of' a good size, and bar her coat, might have been better, was one of the best 
half dozen American bred bitches yet produced. Hot had a great front, and 
was a very stylish dog, but like his Philadelphia contemporaries of this 
time, failed to produce anything of note, though some of his daughters about 
New York made a good cross for dogs of the Bolton Woods Briar strain. 

From 1900 to 1910 Clonmel Monarch was the outstanding sire of the 
breed and established a great strain, but since Red Raven, Philadelphia has 
not produced any great winners, and for some cause or other, the blood ran 

14 



cait. Mr. Johnson bred one or two nice bitches since that date, and the 
Monarch strain has carried on, though in a different hne through Abrecorn 
Gold Edge and other later Philadelphia dogs. The Monarch strain is notable 
for dark eyes, good ears, flat shoulders, good foreface, heads of moderate 
length, good coats though inclined not to last in color, but above all for 
the correct make and shape. Any breeder today who possesses a bitch of 
the Monarch strain may be considered most fortunate. 

Mr. W. L. Barclay, who may now well be considered the Dean of the 
fancy in America, to whom the writer is indebted for much information, 
says of the older dogs that have been mentioned, "All these dogs except 
Wyndhill Tackle and The Gamecock were smaller and neater than many of 
the winners of today, and at their best could more than give a good account 
of themselves in the show ring with today's winners." 

To go back to the earlier period around 1900 and to change the venue 
to New York. In this earlier time, the New York fanciers were not idle, 
and many good ones were imported. Mr. Lorillard Arden, Mr. Cochrane, 




THE WHITE ENGLISH TERRIER 

the Dog) 



From Vero Shaw's Book of 



Mr. Scott McComb, Mr. William E. Hill, Mr. W. S. Tod, Mr. Perry Bel- 
mont, Mr. Foxhall Keene, and Mr. Theodore Offerman, being the leading 
j'anciers. Mr. Arden imported Clonmel Marvel from Mills and Buckley, this 
being the first notable importation to America. Rockferry Pounder, also 
owned by Mr. Arden was a useful sort of dog. Mr. Cochrane's Barkerend 
Lillian was a very good bitch, winning her championship at New York, 
Kansas City and St. Paul. Hastings Clipper and Penhros' Mustard were two 
of Mr. Arden's dogs that also did a good deal of winning. Hastings' Mona 
was Mr. Cochrane's best and a very good bitch. Mr. Percy Mallorie was 
showing his Brushwoods about this time, which was about the time that Mr. 
Clement B. Newbold of Philadelphia started with the very symmetrical im- 
ported bitch Vampire and others. Mr. Thomas Cadvvalader also of Phila- 
delphia was showing at New York. About the same time Mr. Jos. A. Laurin 
of Montreal started his importations. 

The New York dogs were of all types, coming from various parts of 
England, most of the good ones eventually finding their way to New York. 
Accrington Crack, imported by Mr. Tiffany, was a good sort and had, as we 

> 15 



shall see, more real value to the future of Airedales in New York than most 
of the others. Mr. Hill's Ainsflyer Deputy was one of the earliest home-bred 
ones, and Ainsflyer Pounder and some of the Ryecroft bitches of Mr. Tod's, 
were also good ones. Mr. McComb's Rowsley Sultan and Rowsley Regina 
were also very good ones. Mr. Keene imported several very good ones bringing 
over Clonmel Bedrock, in the hope of defeating Clonmel Monarch, which 
he, however, failed to do, and several very good bitches. Clonmel Coronation 
being the best, though he lost one beautiful bitch from the Clonmel kennels 
on the way over. 

It was not, however, until Mr. Theodore Offerman's entry into the Aire- 
dale fancy that New York began to accomplish much in the breeding line. 
Mr. Offerman imported a son of Master Briar, in England known as Tone 
Masterpiece, in America as Ch. York Masterpiece. He was one of Master 
Briar's great sons. He was out of Houston Nell. At his best he was the 
top dog of his day, and while small was a dog with great individuality, an 
absolutely flat head, small ear, and out and out of the pronounced terrier type. 
York Masterpiece, was as we shall see, particularly useful in siring some 
great brood matrons, who were able to pass along his terrier characteristics, 
particularly those two great producers York Vixen and Nellie J. Vixen's 
connection with the Philadelphia dogs has been seen. Nellie J. went back 
to Mr. Cochrane's dog Penhros' Mustard. 

Masterpiece's chief claim to fame rests on his great daughter Ch. Dum- 
barton Sceptre, whom Mr. Offerman also imported. She was out of a 
daughter of Clonmel Monarch, Claverhouse Enchantress, the great English 
brood matron, dam of several great winners. Ch. York Sceptre, as she 
became in America, must always rank as one of the greatest bitches shown 
in America. She had splendid bone and substance. Baughfell Sceptre, a 
daughter of York Sceptre, a good winner, was the dam in turn of Tangle- 
wold Titania by Ch. King Oorang, Titania being the dam of Ch. Geelong 
Cadet, the sire of Brookhaven Laddie, thus showing a direct descent from 
the good early importations. Masterpiece also sired Ch. York the Haymaker, 
an extremely long headed dog. Haymaker was the sire of Baughfell Sceptre. 
Mr. Offerman also imported a dog named Floriform, a son of Masterpiece. 
He won at the Garden, but unfortunately lost an ear in a kennel fight with 
Bolton Woods Briar. Floriform was a bit shortheaded, but a very well 
made one. He sired Mr. J. H. Brookfield's fine long headed Ch. Kismet 
Flashlight out of Kismet Kumy's Ch. Ingafield Wild Rose and Mr. Whit- 
tem's great Ch. Ingaflora, twice a Garden winner and one of the best bitches 
ever shown. Her dam was the imported bitch Ingafield Lady by Monarch. 

York Masterpiece was a terrier through and through, and did a good 
deal to help along the American bred Airedales through his daughters, which 
when bred to Bolton Woods Briar, started a new line of blood, at the time 
when the Monarch strain was beginning to run thin. 

In looking backwards over a, decade of Airedale history, the enhanced 
significance of certain lines of blood becomes apparent in the light of the 
later development of the breed. Particularly is this a fact in certain cases 
and perhaps not more so than in the lamentable fortune attending the career 
of one of the greatest, if not, perhaps, the greatest of all sires in the history 
of the Airedale in America, Bolton Woods Briar. 

Any Airedale who sires four champions in two litters, and is himself 
the litter mate of another champion, (Bolton Woods Blossom), should 
command the attention of every Airedale breeder, and when the sons and 
daughters of this Airedale are also producers of champion stock, the road 

16 



to success is clear if one will but follow it. And yet, what a limited op- 
portunity, compared with that of.Clonmel Monarch, did Bolton Woods Briar 
ha.ve to establish one of the few thoroughly consistent strains of Airedales 
that have existed over a considerable period of time and have met with a 
considerable and consistent success. 

To Air. Offerman belongs the credit of importing Bolton Woods Briar, 
but the condition in which the dog was shown in this country, his color, and 
the criticisms the dog met with in the kennel press, particularly from 
''Xorth Country," who said "the less said of Bolton Woods Briar the better," 
soon induced Mr. Offerman to part with him. and for the future good of the 
Airedale, he was purchased by Mr. John McGough of Brooklyn, one of the 
very few constructive breeders of the earlier days. He was bred to Queenie, 
a daughter of Mr. Tiffany's Accrington Crack, another strangely neglected 
dog, out of Holders Queen. In this litter were the first two winners of this 




CHOLMONDELEY BRIAR, One of the Earlier Airedales, Owned by 

Mr. H. M. Brians 



strain, the Brown Prince, the Black Queen, which won first and second 
puppies and specials at Wissahickon show of 1905, which must be re- 
membered, was bearding the lion in his den, as Philadelphia was then a 
hotbed of Airedale enthusiasts and breeders. 

In looking back now to those days, the enhanced significance of this 
bitch, the Black Queen, to the future good of the Airedale in the light of 
subsequent history is very apparent. She was a trifle small, but was par- 
ticularly endowed with Bolton Woods Briar qualities and was a dark colored 
one as her name implies. 

Bolton Woods Briar was then bred to Nellie J. by Champion York 
Masterpiece out of York Topsy Turvy, by Penhros' Mustard ex Bowling 
Doris. From this litter resulted Champion Harry Jones and Champion Lillian 
Jones and a third very good dog, Walter Woods, these latter two being 

17 



second and third puppies at Wissahickon in 1908. Mr. McGough here showed 
his astuteness as a breeder, and bred the Black Queen to Champion Harry 
Jones. The resulting litter produced Uncle Sam, Lady Mary and Lady 
Bolton. In the light of subsequent history, this litter was a most important 
one. Lady Mary was one of the best and most beautiful bitches ever shown 
in this country. She richly deserved the champion prefix but came to an 
unfortunately early end when her second litter was whelped, being only one 
year and ten months old. She was shown only four times as a puppy, 
winning six firsts, numerous specials, and- one reserve winners. Unquestion- 
ably had she lived, she would have become a champion. Barring that her 
ears could have been carried a trifle higher, she was practically faultless. 
Bred to Soudan Swiveller, Lady Mary got Ch. Gold Heels. 

Uncle Sam was a good individual but goes down in history chiefly as 
being the sire, when bred to Brosna Bacchante, of the famous bitch Bingley 
Blossom, very much in type and character of the good bitch Lady Mary, 
and others of the lovely bitches of this strain, notably the Black Queen 
herself, Nancy Lee and Heart's Desire. 

Bolton Woods Briar was also bred to York Vixen by Champion York 
Masterpiece out of Red Queen by Clonmel Monarch, the latter being the dam 
of Champion Red Sunlight and Champion Hedgeley Flash. This litter pro- 
duced Mr. John Murray's famous dog, Briar's Masterpiece, who won his 
championship by the time he Avas ten months old. Champion Longhill 
Peggy, Mr. Dalby's noted winner was also in this litter as were Briar's Boy, 
Briar's Teddy and Missourian Briar, three very good dogs, also Briar's 
Masterpiece sired Champion Pilgrim Yellow Jacket, a Wissahickon Gold 
Medal winner, who in turn sired the dam of another famous bitch Champion 
Vickery Soubrette. Briar's Masterpiece also sired Tanglewold Briar Test, 
out of Pretty Florrie, a typical Bolton Woods Briar type, the best American 
bred out in 1910, winning the special at Morrdstown under James Mortimer 
over Champion Larchmere Mistress Magnet, etc., and good enough to have 
finished a champion, but was unfortunately shown against Champion Tintern 
Royalist and Champion Prince of York, to whom he was repeatedly Reserve 
Winners-. Mr. Glynn who judged in New York in 1910 afterwards wrote that 
barring his light color, Champion Briar's Masterpiece was the best Airedale 
in the show. 

Champion Red Raven bred to Ch. Longhill Peggy got Ch. Longhill Doris 
and Briar's Teddy bred to the Black Queen got the beautiful bitch Nancy 
Lee, who won the puppy class at Philadelphia in 1910. This bitch was one 
of the best of this strain and of distinctly the same type and character as 
Champion Bingley Blossom. Old Black Joe, who won the puppy class at 
Newark in 1910 and died directly after, was sired by Ch. Harry Jones, and 
will be remembered as a very high class dog by all who saw him. 

Lady Bolton, the litter sister of Uncle Sam and Lady Mary, has also 
carried on the strain. Her daughter, Nightshade W. by Baughfell Model, 
being a very good bitch of the same type as Lady Maiy, Blossom and Nancy 
Lee. Another daughter of Lady Bolton by Hot was exceptionally good and 
a daughter by Swiveller, the same cross that produced Gold Heels, bred to 
Charter Oak Advance Guard produced Tanglewold Talisman, that is about 
as good an American bred as any and of the distinctly Bolton Woods Briar 
type. A daughter of Nightshade W. by Abrecorn Gold Edge bred to 
Champion Geelong Cadet produced Mr. Wilford Wood's well known dog, 
Brookhaven Laddie, who in his turn seems to be carrying on the strain. 

18 



Champion Master Briar bred to the great hitch Champion Dumbarton 
Lass got Odsal Crack, who sired four champions, "Rock Prince, Sweet 
Moireen, Bolton Woods Blossom and Bolton Woods Briar, these last 
two out of Studholme Floss, by Studholme Slpark by Studholme Sherry, a 
contemporary of Master Briar by the same sire, Briar Test. Sherry was a 
very good dog and had a meteoric show career and Spark sired Champion 
Legram's Prince, Pretty Florrie, Briarwood, and several other good ones, 
so that on his dam's side Bolton Woods Briar was very well bred, which 
may be one reason for his remarkable prepotency. 

The Bolton Woods Briar strain produces an average high class type on 
the hackney built line, sound in bone and substance, with hard coats, strong 
foreface, not merely whisker, good heads, eyes and ears. Along with other 
strains there has been a tendency to go red with age, and also, perhaps, a 
lack of that extreme show quality possessed by so few Terriers only, but 




FRACTURE, the Airedale Bitch Owned by Mr. L. P. C. Astley, and 
One of the Earliest of the Breed 



which is so much desired in a show dog. This strain is very strong and con- 
sistent in getting the essential Airedale qualities of bone, substance, coat and 
foreface and has and is producing many of America's foremost Airedales — 
Ch. Harry Jones, Ch. Lillian Jones, Ch. Briar's Masterpiece, Ch. Longhill 
Peggy, Ch. Longhill Doris, Ch. Bingley Blossom, Ch. Vickery Soubrette, 
Ch. Gold Heels, Lady Mary, Uncle Sam, Tanglewold Briar Test, Fair Play, 
Nancy Lee, Rough and Tumble, Heart's Desire, Brookhaven Laddie, and 
Tanglewold Talisman, being some of the better known dogs of this strain. 
In going back again to the earlier period to the start of the breed in 
Boston, one name stands out prominently — that of Mr. Arthur Merritt. An 
old Yorkshire man, he was pre-eminently a breeder, though willing to buy 
the best. His dogs were bought principally for breeding purposes. The 
New King and the Crown Duchess were the two principal importations of 
Mr. Merritt's. They were good colored and coated, upstanding and big 
muzzled, and of the useful workmanlike type. Lady Tempest was the first 
champion produced by Mr. Merritt from the above pair, though she resembled 
her litter mates closely. Mr. Merritt then imported the English Champion, 

19 



Clonmel Majesty by Clonmel Monarch, and this great bitch with Lady 
Tempest, Crown Duchess and The New King made a strong team. Clonmel 
Majesty, bred to The New King, produced Ch. Prince Hal, who was a very 
good dog. 

In Mr. Merritt's breeding operations, the best results were obtained from 
crossing a Clonmel Monarch bitch to The New King, a son of Rock Salt. In 
Philadelphia, the greatest results were produced from crossing Clonmel 
Monarch with Clonmel Marvel strain, and in New York with crossing 
Bolton Woods Briar on York Masterpiece bitches. 

Mr. Merritt's Rock Salt strain was quite a bit different than the 
Philadelphia and New York dogs. The New King stock, outside of Mr. 
Merritt's kennels, not accomplishing much. Crompton Marvel, as we have 
seen, was the result of crossing the Rock Salt and Master Briar blood, and 
was a great sire though his litter brother Lucky Baldwin imported by Mr. 
Laurin did not amount to much. Ch. Prince Hal was a good winner, but 
not a laster, becoming coarse as he aged. Lucky Baldwin sired Ch. Colne 
Tyke, who got Ch. Wynton Tyke out of Otley Madcap, and was owned by 
Mr. Charles Iceland of Boston. Madcap was by The New King. Wynton 
Tyke was a very sound coated dog as all of the Rock Salt strain were, a 
brother to Colne Tyke owned by the writer possessed this same coat, color 
and workmanlike type. Personally, this type was to the writer a very sound 
one and he possessed several good daughters of The New King at that time 
aiming to breed them to his Lucky Baldwin dog. This same breeding prac- 
tically produced Mr. Burgess' well known winning bitch Ch. Princess 
Royston Tess, probably the best earlier Boston winner. Her sire was 
•Royston King, by The New King, out of a Lucky Baldwin bitch. This bitch 
ended The New r King-Rock Salt strain. 

Other early Boston Fanciers were Mr. Philip French with the imported 
bitch, Buck's Sunflower, Mr. James W. Spring and Mr. Richard Jordan 
of the Larchmere strain, which will be taken up later.

'You Can't Breed Rats from Mice." — Old Yorkshire Saw 



Breeding Airedales does not differ in principle from breeding other live- 
stock. The same general laws and practices obtain. But a certain knowledge 
of the commoner terms in breeding is necessary to a thorough understanding 
of the application of these general principles in practical breeding. The 
old adage, "Like produces like," is a common expression among all breeders. 
Within limits it is true. It means that there is usually a strong resemblance

between offspring and parents. But it must be remembered that the grand- 
parents, great grandparents and the remoter ancestry all exert some influ- 
ence and tend to produce variation. 

When stock has been line bred for some time, and both parents are 
alike in general character, and have the same general foundation blood 
behind them, the get will far more likely resemble the general run of the 
family or strain they represent, and in all probability will closely resemble 
their* immediate ^progenitors. 

Variation means the differences which exist between offspring and the 
parents, or between offspring in the same litter. In the earlier days of the 

21 



Airedale, variation was a very great factor in breeding. The earliest litters 
born in America were a nondescript lot and varied greatly from their parents 
and from each other. These varied from much worse than the parent stock 
to much better, and by the continued selection of these better individuals, 
the gradual improvement of the breed has been brought, about. It is this 
selection of those individuals that thus show marked improvement in the 
desired direction that constitutes most of the endeavor in breeding, and by 
the use of such superior individuals, that breeders have made such progress, 
or can expect to make progress, in their breeding operations. 

The success of countless hundreds has proven that in the long run this 
method of selecti/on of those individuals whose variation is in the right 
direction, has been a successful method of obtaining marked improvement 
in a strain. Today, in good strains of Airedales, the marked variation 
between their parents and offspring, is not so apparent, thus showing the 
steady improvement that has been brought about in the breed. 

Individual dogs 'occasionally occur in litters that are known popularly 
as sports, scientifically as mutations. These differ more markedly than 
individuals showing simply plain variations. For some unknown or unex- 
plained reason, it has been discovered that there is a marked tendency for 
"sports" to breed true, so that the occasional appearance in a litter of Aire- 
dales of a markedly different dog than the rest, provided he happens to be 
of a desirable type, more rapid and much greater improvement can be made 
than by the slower process of selection of individuals oif less marked variation. 

The appearance of sports may and frequently is accounted for when a 
full knowledge of a strain exists, by atavism or reversion, which means simply 
the appearance in the individual of characteristics not present in the known 
individual ancestors. Sometimes this reversion goes back to unborn ancestors. 
If a strain continually shows a marked tendency to produce reversions, par- 
ticularly to an undesirable type, it is poor judgment to go on using such 
animals for breeding purposes. Thus, some bitches, no matter how hard- 
coated they are, will continuously throw soft-coated puppies in their litters, 
or puppies with white feet and similar reversions. 

The most important law and the most troublesome in breeding, is the 
law of averages, or as it is sometimes called, the tendency to revisions. This 
means that in Airedales, as in any other breed, there is a mean or average 
type, and the tendency is very strong for the offspring to revert to this 
type. Thus, if the parents are above the average, the tendency is for the 
offspring to be poorer than their parents, and vice versa. Again in breeding 
Airedales, the good breeder always selects his parents as far as possible, to 
be above the average, this tendency towards a lower average in the offspring, 
most particularly concerns the breeder. This law makes it necessary for a 
breeder to continue to select with the greatest care, even after he has estab- 
lished a fine family or strain. The careful breeder never forgets that he must 
continuously fight this tendency through most careful and continued selections. 
He cannot rest on his laurels and maintain the same degree of equality he 
has secured. He is bound to Jose ground. It is this law that has caused 
the disappearance from the prize lists of some kennels that had made big 
reputations, probably due to some great sire or more probably brood matron, 
that has kept them in the front ranks, and whose loss has meant the rapid 
regression of their stock. It is in general, better to try to breed a high 
general average in Airedales, than to hope some lucky trick will produce a 
"flyer," it having been pretty generally proven by time, that most of the 
flyers are from strains whose general average of winning dogs is very good. 



In an article on Prepotency in Airedales, published a few years ago in 
"Science" by William Haynes, and using as data the list of Airedale cham- 
pions in both England and America up to January 1913, it is interesting to 
note of the eighty dog champions, 53 never sired a champion of either 
sex. Only 27 of the champions produced champions, of these 27 but 13 pro- 
duced more than one champion. However, these 13 sires produced 49 of the 
149 Airedale champions, almost a third of the champions of both sexes. Of 
the 80 dog champions, but 10 are the grandsires of 4 or more champions. 

Even more striking evidence of the prepotency of certain dogs as pro- 
ducers of champions, is that those dogs who sired two or more champions 
almost invariably appear among those whose sons and daughters have pro- 
duced more than four champions. The exceptional sires are also the excep- 
tional grandsires. The sixteen leading champions sired fifty champions, or, 




CH. BOLTON WOODS BRIAR. This Dog Was Probably the Greatest 

Airedale Sire in the History of the Breed in America. (From 

a painting made by Miss McGovern, from a photograph) 

in other words, a third of all the Airedale champions have been sired by less 
than a third of the dog champions. Moreover, a glance at the pedigrees of 
the sixteen phenomenal producers shows them all to have been more or less 
closely related. All trace back to Cholmondeley Briar. 

The three greatest producers of the lot are Master Briar, Clonmel Mon- 
arch and Crompton Oorang. Master Briar was a grandson of Cholmondeley 
Briar, Clonmel Monarch Master Briar's son, and Crompton Oorang, by a 
son of Master Briar out of a daughter of Clonmel Monarch. 

It is, therefore, imperative for the Airedale breeder to become thoroughly 
familiar with those lines of Airedale breeding that have consistently pro- 
duced winners, not necessarily champions either, as there are many very 
good Airedales, much more deserving of the coveted honor, than some of the 
title holders. We have seen how Master Briar's family produced most of 
the early English winners, how Monarch and Bolton Woods Briar did the 
same in America. 

22, 



What can be accomplished in the way of breeding is well illustrated in 
the case of the Larchmere Kennels owned by Mr. Robert Jordan of Boston. 
For a period of years, these kennels showed d|ogs of their own breeding, and 
usually managed to bring out one or two puppies every year of very high 
quality and consistent in general type and character, generally sired by a 
Larchmere dog out of a Larchmere bitch. Founded on the great bitch Bitter- 
sweet, this kennel established a real strain. This is a straight sporting 
proposition, to show only dogs of one's own breeding, and the results this 
kennel accomplished are a shining example of what can be done by con- 
sistent breeding to type on correct principles. It was a great blow to the 
Fancy when this kennel was broken up, though their blood lines have not been 
lost entirely, and some very fine American breds have since been produced 
from this strain, Mr. Mullins of Lowell, Mass., having bred several good 
ones from Larchmere Delight a direct deseendent through the long line of 
lovely Larchmere bitches, to the great Bittersweet, notably Charter Oak 
Advance Guard and Adventuress. 

We have already seen in the remarkable results obtained from Bolton 
Woods Briar, that Mr. Murray and Mr. McGough were both good breeders. 
What Mr. Murray might have accomplished we do not know, his death.' and 
the early death of his great Airedale Ch. Briar's Masterpiece were a loss 
to the fancy. Mrs. Bell owned ithe bitch Nellie J. by York Aiasterpiece. 
Bred to Bolton Woods Briar she produced Ch. Harry Jones and Ch. Lillian 
Jones. Harry Jones, owned by Mr. McGough, was not only a very good 
show dog but a splendid sire. He had a very clean head, was a laster, and 
sired many leading winners around 1910. He was the sire of the great 
bitch Lady Mary and grandsire of Bingley Blossom. Sire of Old Black Joe 
and Tanglewold Vixen, two sensational puppy winners that were carried 
off by distemper, Princess Betty, etc., and his blood is in many of the leading- 
American breds of the period after 1910. Mr. McGough's strain was a 
combination of Bolton Woods Briar and brood bitches descended from the 
earlier New York importations, from the Hastings and Arden kennels. Mr. 
McGough's dogs bred very true to type, and today while Mr. McGough 
himself is not active in the show and breeding game, there are a -great many 
good winners and champions which his strain has supplied. This strain was 
primarily the New York strain, and Mr. McGough the greatest New 
York breeder. 

One other example of what consistent line breeding to type with good 
foundation stock can do, is that of the Geelong Kennels of Lakewood, N. J., 
owned by Air. Robert F. Height, who also ranks as one of our best breeders, 
though of a somewhat later period. At the break-up of the Tanglewold 
Kennels at Princeton, N. J., Mr. Height secured Tanglewold Terror and 
several good brood matrons, Tanglewold Tauntress and Tanglewold Titania 
and others. He immediately began to produce such good bitches as Geelong 
Sceptre, Floss, etc., and has since bred that splendid American bred, Ch. 
Geelong Cadet, and Gladiator, Swordsman. Briarcroft Cadet, and a lot more 
good ones. Like Mr. McGough, his dogs bred true to a certain type, which 
is the hallmark of a breeder. Brookhaven Laddie is by Cadet and continues 
the Bolton Woods Briar and the Tanglewold-Geelong strain. 

The results produced by these breeders, speak for themselves as to the 
merits of this system of breeding, i. e., the establishment of a strain by 
using one's own dogs.

CHAPTER IV. 



Breeding Kennels — Brood Bitches — Colony System — Puppy Raising — 
Cutting Tails — Ideal Brood Matron One of the Family Household 
— "Farming Out" the Bitches — Picking the best of the Litter. 

As a general rule, the breeding kennels should be a separate department 
in any well-regulated kennel business, whether run for pleasure or profit. 
The best way to raise good dogs, is to make the prospective dam one of 
the family and to have the puppies born behind the kitchen stove. The 
author has personally experienced the very great difficulties that lie in the 
way of this method, but nevertheless places it first. Having raised puppies 
for many years, in spite of all sorts of obstacles, in the shape of objecting 
family, obdurate college authorities, implacable kitchen bosses, and in every 




ENGLISH CH. HUCKLEBERRY LASS, by Crompton Marvel 

ex Miss Salt 

kind and conceivable place, from bathtubs to coal bins, and lion houses to 
college dormitories, the author feels qualified to speak with authority on 
this subject. 

No kennel ever built, can equal in the raising of puppies, the placing of 
a good brood matron where she will become one of the family and where 
the puppies can have the kindly care of some interested woman. The best 
puppies I have ever raised, or should say, had raised, were raised for me 
by one Miss Kate McKenna, a Scotchwoman, who can give cards and spades 
to any kennel man that ever lived, in the fine art of puppy raising. 

On a trip to England in 1911, on the occasion of purchasing the great 
brood-matron, Brosna Bacchante from Mr. Holland Buckley, I had the great 



25 



pleasure of driving about with Mr. Buckley, to see several litters of puppies 
sired by the English Champion Clonmel Cadet, as Mr. Buckley was most 
insistent that Bacchante be bred to Cadet before he sent her over. As I 
liked Cadet and his puppies, and Bacchante suited me, the deal was made 
to my ultimate satisfaction, this great bitch through her daughters and her 
son, Tanglewold Terror, by Cadet, founding a distinct strain in America, 
since her purchase in 1911. 

When I saw the way Mr. Buckley had of raising puppies, as well as 
other English breeders that I visited, I no longer wondered that the 
English put it all over us raising dogs, and for the matter of that, most 
other livestock. The ordinary man and woman in England appreciates the 
value of a good bitch to the family. They all like dogs, and the making of 
some pocket money by it, is merely incidental. In Mr. Kipling's amusing 
story, "Little Foxes," we see the English method of raising puppies, and 
when the annual puppy show came off, it was lucky they didn't have to call 
out the 'militia, as Judge Kelly puts it, "to keep the peace." 

My advice to the would-be Airedale breeder, is to get one really corking 
good bitch and make her part of the family. If you ,are so fortunately 
situated as to be able to do this, you can raise better dogs than can be raised 
in most any kennel. As an example of what one good bitch kept in this 
manner can do, I can cite Mr. Earle J. Woodward's "Miss Militant," a 
beautiful bitch herself from her pictures, and the founder of a strain which 
has produced such splendid dogs as Ch. Earlwood Warlock, Earlwood Hickory 
Limb and Earlwood Pegaway, and we venture to suggest that Mr. Wood- 
ward has done as well with his dogs as many a large kennel ever did. 

Many of the great dogs bred around .New York for years were raised 
in backyards in Brooklyn, stables, etc., as the writer knows having in his 
younger and, if possible, more enthusiastic days, visited many such and getting 
lost many a night in trying to find his way home from that mysterious city 
of subways and trolley cars, Brooklyn, so do not be discouraged if your 
means will not permit the building of an elaborate kennel, the advantage 
is all on the other side. 

One to two or three bitches are quite enough to begin with, as in 
breeding for the show ring, it is not quantity that is wanted but quality. It 
is the dog that is just a bit better than all the rest that fetches the big money. 
Though few people seem to realize it, a good brood bitch can earn quite as 
much money as a good stud dog. Several bitches' offsprings have realized 
hundreds of dollars, besides keeping their fortunate owners in the front ranks 
as breeders for many years. In fact, the importance of starting with a good 
bitch cannot be overestimated. 

Such bitches as . York Vixen, Brosna Bacchante, Dumbarton Vixen, 
Larchmere Bittersweet, The Black Queen, and earlier ones as Bath Lady, 
Claverhouse Enchantress, and Woodland Judy, having as much influence in 
the breed as many sires, and proving gold mines for their fortunate owners. 

How often one hears "Yes, I know she is not good in points, but she 
has good blood in her and I 'bought her cheap. If bred to a good dog, she 
would have some good puppies." The question is, "Will she have good 
puppies ?" The answer is, "No, nine times out of ten." In about twenty-four 
out of twenty-five cases, people will not put a reasonable price into a good 
female, one that is a really good specimen for breeding. They will write, 
"I don't want a show dog, just a cheap one for breeding, $25 is my limit." 
There is no greater mistake possible. It costs no more to raise and breed 
good salable puppies than it does the poorer kind. Blood is certainly worth 

26 



a great deal in breeding, and there have been and will be cases, where a 
poor individual specimen has produced some wonderful offspring. But the 
chances are against it. It does not pay to try it out. A really good specimen 
will sell itself on its own merit, and bring a good price. The poorest ones 
of the litter are the hard ones to sell always. With everything favorable, it 
is hard enough to breed and raise top notchers. 

Do not think that by paying a large stud service to some well-known 
champion you can expect the puppies to be winners out of any old bitch, ex- 
pecting the dog to make up for the bitch's deficiencies. It doesn't happen 
that way — quite the reverse. A real brood matron will get good puppies 
from any decent dog, but the best sire out can't produce good ones from 
poor bitches. 

If you are starting in to breed Airedales, by all means do not hesitate 
to put your money into a really good bitch. It will save years of effort. 
One learns many things in breeding dogs, as well as in other kinds of sport 
or business, and when you go to buy that female, if you expect to breed

her, get a good all around specimen. Don't expect a female with just 
good blood back of her to be a producer and money maker. Get a good all 
round specimen, with pronounced terrier characteristics, can stand being on 
the small side if not too small, then breed her to a good dog, not necessarily 
a champion, but a proven producer of good stock by all means, if possible 
a good one himself, and when it can be managed, of the same or similar 
ancestry as the bitch preferably. With this procedure, one is almost sure 
of producing results. In the opinion of many leading Airedale breeders, the 
bitch is considered by far more than half the battle. 

To be as profitable as possible, dogs must be well cared for at all 
times. Feed them well if you wish to get the best results out of them, and 
look to their existence, rest, comfort, as well as their food. If they do not 

27 



pay to feed, they will certainly not do so to starve. No matter what it costs, 
you cannot afford to stint breeding stock. All profit comes from the food 
over and above that necessary to sustain life. The ability of .a bitch to 
nourish her puppies properly is of the first importance, and it is impossible 
for a half-starved animal to do that. The object of feeding is not to fatten, 
but to strengthen her and to furnish ample material for the rapid manu- 
facture of bone and muscular flesh in the puppies. Give her plenty of meat; 
it makes the puppies strong. 

There is no doubt that many valuable bitches have been practically ruined 
for breeding purposes by overfeeding farinaceous foods, which alone do not 
furnish enough bone and muscle forming material for the needs of the canine 
animal economy. Excessive fat produced in this way has much to do with 
the bearing of small litters and undersized puppies. However, overfeeding is 
as bad as underfeeding in that it wastes food and injures the dog. 

Extra care should be taken to avoid fermented and decayed foods as 
parturition approaches, they may deteriorately affect the unborn whelp 
and even cause abortion. Bitches at this time seem to have a craving for 
food of this sort and must be watched. 

On the whole, appetite is the best index of health. If a properly ex- 
ercised bitch does not generally eat as though its food tasted good, something 
is wrong with either the dog or its food. 

When puppies are fed and cared for just enough to keep them at a 
standstill, the food they get is actually thrown away. Imperfect nutrition 
not only arrests present growth, but seems to lessen the capacity for future 
development as well, so that its effects persist to some degree through life. 
In the last few years, the discovery of vitamines has been made. Medical 
experiments have proven Cod liver oil to be one of the chief sources of 
vitamines in raising puppies, and its use should by no means be neglected 
in raising puppies, particularly any slow developers. 

The rate of growth decreases from birth to maturity, and all experi- 
enced breeders, not only of dogs but other livestock, know that young stock 
once seriously checked in development can never attain to the full develop- 
ment that they might have, had they been kept steadily, for impaired bodily 
vigor involves impaired digestion and assimilation. An illnourished puppy 
is bound to develop into a stunted dog, and no amount of food later in 
life will repair the injury done by stunting during development. 

Probably the best method of caring for the brood matron and raising 
puppies is /by what is known to poultry men as the "Colony System." In 
a large kennel it might be advantageous to have a separate building for 
bitches in season and to whelp in, and possibly a good idea to have a separate 
building for raising puppies, or these buildings might be incorporated as 
part of an extensive layout in wings or extensions to a main kennel. But 
where puppies are whelped in the Spring and early Summer months, the 
colony house system is the best for either the small or large kennel. 

Of course there are all sorts of colony houses, but the best are those 
permitting a man to enter and having two compartments, one enclosed and 
the other open shed on two sides at least. But most any old box or house 
will do provided it is clean and has enough ventilation. It should have a 
long partition across with a separate box for the dam so she can get 
away from the puppies when she desires. 

Pages could be written on how to build kennels and manage them, and 
it is not within the scope of this manuscript to go into too much detail 
of this kind. Some very good colony poultry houses manufactured by the 

28 



E. C. Young Company, Randolph, Mass., are almost equally good as dog 
colony houses. They are reasonably priced, and this concern is the only one 
in America making anything suitable for dogs. In England the fanciers 
are more fortunate, and many very good dog colony houses both for puppies 
and grown dogs can be purchased at reasonable prices. These are on good 
models and any of the Christmas numbers of "The Dog World" and "Our 
Dogs" carry these advertisements which show fairly well the design of such 
dog houses. In England this system of kenneling is used very largely, and 
has much to recommend it. Each house should be located quite well away 
from any other, and have a temporary fence put up around it. It should 
be kept in a new location each Spring and should have plenty of shade as 
well as sunshine. 

Growing puppies need three things, food, room and sunshine. When first 
weaned they should be fed milk, gruel, and soups five times daily. The 
number of meals can be gradually lessened, and the amount of solid food 
increased until around ten months thev are fed the same as their older

to Be the Greatest American-bred Bitch Yet Produced 

kennel companions. The more room puppies have, the better they thrive. 
Probably this is the reason that puppies "out at walk" as they call it in 
England, "or farm out" as we should say here, nearly always do so much 
better than kennel raised puppies. They may, and probably do get all sorts 
of food, and they certainly do not get the attention given the ones in the 
kennels, but a farm raised youngster seems always healthier, bigger 
and stronger. 

This idea of the Colony System, is to imitate as far as possible in a 
kennel, the conditions obtaining where puppies are farm raised. Sunlight 
acts on puppies as it does on growing poultry or plants. It is a necessity 
to their growth. Winter puppies are always more trouble to raise then those 
born in the Spring, and as far as possible kennel managers or owners, should 

29 



arrange to have their litters whelped only in the Spring of the year. One 
litter a year is enough to ask of any bitch where one is breeding for quality 
rather than quantity. 

The dam will wean the puppies herself, as long as she has free ingress 
and egress to them, when they begin to get their teeth. It is best to leave 
the weaning to the dam. When the puppies' eyes are open, they should be 
taught to drink for themselves by sticking their noses in a pan of slightly 
warmed sweetened milk. About the time they are fully weaned, they should 
be treated for worms. After this first worming, about once in eight weeks 
until eighteen months old, but only puppy vermifuge, should be used. Lots 
of puppies are injured permanently by too early and too frequent dosing 
with strong worm medicines. 

It is necessary to cut the tails of Airedales. This should be done when 
not over three' or four days old. A good pair of scissors or a sharp knife 
is all the instrument needed. The safe rule is to leave a trifle more than 
half the tail on the puppy. This seems long, but will be right when the 
dog matures. Nothing spoils the looks of an Airedale more than a short 
dock, xf the puppy is held up and the tail cut on a level with the top of 
its head, it will generally suit the individual dog better, but the puppy must 
be in the right position. This is the method used by the writer with almost 
always good results, a long necked dog having a longer cut than 
a short one, and in proportion to the general symmetry and outline of the dog. 
An Airedale bitch should not raise over six puppies where quality and 
good growth in the puppies is desired. Consequently what ones to destroy 
is a delicate question. It is usually safe to discard the last one born, which 
i? usually a runt, and unless the litter is very valuable on account of its 
breeding, any but one or two bitch puppies. It takes a very experienced eye 
to tell much about the points of a new born puppy. When they get a little 
older, around six to eight weeks old they can be selected to some extent. Light 
eyes seldom get better. Big ears seldom improve. In selecting Airedale puppies 
a safe rule is to pick the square muzzled, big jawed and flat skulled ones, 
with the straightest legs, dark eyes, small ears, and short bodies, discarding 
any puppies with faults or with white feet. Sometimes Airedale puppies 
carry light colored noses until quite well along, but these almost invariably 
turn black, and the writer personally would pay no attention to this if a 
puppy suited him in other respects. 

The writer has had first choice of three litters that contained each a 
famous champion which he did not get, but the dogs selected turned out 
well, and in many instances the rearing and a certain amount of luck accounts 
for a championship. One of the Philadelphia breeders, Mr. Laurence Tobin 
writes as follows on this question of picking the best of the litter. 

Often the novice asks how he is going to be certain that he is getting 
the best pup in an Airedale litter when he makes a pick at six or seven 
weeks of age. The answer is that there isn't any certainty. It's a chance 
and the odds vary according to the size of the litter. 

I remember several years ago I bred one of my dogs for the pick of 
the litter. When the pups were six weeks old the owner of the bitch told 
me to make my choice. I spent several hours of a Sunday morning at his 
place, together with another Airedale man who had been in the game many 
years before me. I was very anxious to get the right pup, as breeding condi- 
tions were such that I was* sure there would be a real flyer in the lot. 
The friend suggested we postpone the picking for two weeks. 
"There's one time you can pick a young Airedale puppy," he said, "and 

30 



that's at eight weeks. You'll see the same conformation that you'll have 
at maturity." 

I knew the tradition, too, so we waited another fortnight. Then the 
pair of us finally decided upon the pup. We agreed as to the choice and 
there was no question of his superiority on the day. I felt sure I was 
carrying away a future champion. 

Eight months, later I sold the "future champion" for fifteen dollars and 
my conscience troubled me for having taken advantage of the buyer. Then 
I turned around and paid more than a hundred dollars for the supposed 
mut of the litter. He made a well known winner. 

Sometimes, however, the early dope comes true. I picked a puppy at six 
weeks and got an Airedale lover with a farm to raise him for me. At four

Mr. G. Muss-Amok) 



months the pup looked like a Black and Tan and my friend suggested a farmer 
in the neighborhood who was willing to pay ten dollars for a pup with 
simply watchdog possibilities. More through obstinacy, I suppose, than con- 
viction I kept the pup. I recall very distinctly the first time I exhibited him 
at a local fixture. I didn't get a ribbon — 1 got a laugh. Six months later, 
though, the puppy made a sensational record at several of the biggest shows 
in the country. 

There is a well known American-bred champion who made good on 
the advance dope. His owner picked him out of a very evenly matched 
litter. He showed him to some friends. "A very nice puppy," they said, 
"but he'll never do." 

31 



The owner didn't argue the point. He took the puppy to the home of 
a young girl and asked her to raise him. When this puppy was eight months 
he made his show ring debut. In less than a year he was a champion. 

Visit a dozen experienced Airedale breeders and you will not wonder 
that the novice is confused in trying to score one hundred per cent in picking 
a winner at six weeks. You see a puppy with somewhat heavy ears ; the 
breeder says he knows, and he ought to at that, the puppy will grow to 
them. Such and such a well known dog, he'll explain, had similar ears 
at the same age and "look at him now." Or maybe the coat's a bit soft. 
"It will be a good coat to work on," he'll explain. Or the pup hasn't even 
the suspicion of a whisker and looks more like a smooth. "It'll come," 
you are assured, "you're bound to get the hardest sort of a coat, too.''

One of the Best Half Dozen Bitches Shown in America 



And another breeder, equally experienced, will venture opinions exactlv 
opposite. Which is right? you wonder. Both, probably. A strange answer, 
I'll admit, but easy to explain. 

There are so many distinct strains of Airedale breeding and combinations 
of these lines that perfection in maturity may come from entirely different 
beginnings. Have you noticed that nine times out of ten the man who 
breeds, not buys, a good one has been working with the dam's side for 
several generations. Or, if he is a novice, has followed the advice of a 
veteran who knew the strain. True, the chance bred one often come to puzzle 
the student-breeder. But the probabilities are that this fortunate pup isn't 
as much of a freak as he seems. He may be a freak as far as were the 
breeder's intentions but if we could get right down to the real laws of nature 
he'd probably be easily explained. 

These sidelights on Airedale breeding are interesting to a degree, you 
may say, but they fail to determine the picking of the best in a utter at six 
or eight weeks of age ! Well, here goes a little advice in that direction ! 

32 



If you can afford to do so, hold on to several ot the pups and make your 
final choice when they have reached seven to ten months of age 

When you pick in infancy, study the parents carefully. Look out for, 
the pup that shows to the slightest degree any glaring fault the sire or dam 
possesses. Be equally careful in this respect concerning the grandparents, if 
you know them. For instance if the dam is a soft coated one and the sire 
isn't much better in this respect, don't pick a soft coated, heavily whiskered 
youngster, no matter how satisfactory he may appear in other respects. 
This holds true for very light eyes, heavy ears, long bodies and bad fronts. 
Defects that are not quite so seriousi may be overlooked a bit. 

Don't pick your pup on head alone. So many make this mistake. 
Remember, it is only the novice judge that doesn't go beyond the ears. 
Furthermore the longest headed puppy at six weeks doesn't always have the 
best head at a year. There is one type of puppy that invariably fools the 
inexperienced. This is one which usually has the longest head at six weeks 
while his coat has a peculiar kinkiness which often gives an impression of 
future hardness. Look out! As this youngster grows his show prospects 
vanish. The coat develops into the worst possible with a curl that is familiar 
to Airedale breeders and with an utter lack of under jacket. His expression 
also tends further and further from the terrier. 

Look out for the perfect head at six weeks. It will deceive you and bring 
you to grief later. The more "lumpy" type has possibilities for maturity. 
Likewise remember that the perfect pup at an early age will hardly improve 
with maturity while the one with minor imperfections has something to 
which he can grow. 

Just the other day I went with three other Airedale men to look over 
a litter of seven weeks. I wanted to get a line on their methods and suggested 
each of us make a choice without telling the other and compare notes when 
finished. We all knew the breeding strains very well. Three of us picked 
the same pup. Here is what we picked on: a promising head of more than 
ordinary length, but not the longest in the litter ; keen terrier expression, 
dark, well placed eye, medium ear, very short back and a well set tail. The 
coat was straight and hard and the pup stood true in front with very promising 
hindquarters. He seemed to stand out in the litter as a real terrier, full 
of quality and promise of future development.

CHAPTER V. 



Location of the Kennel Buildings — "Colony House System" Ideal for 
Airedales — Dogs "At Walk" — Proper Discipline Necessary — Bitches 
and Litters Kept Separately — Care of the Show Dogs. 



"JLet, first the kennel be the Huntsman's care.'' 



"Let, first the kennel be the Huntsman's care," wrote Somerville in 1735 
in The Chase, and the advice stands good today. In fact, all that any kennel 
owner really needs is contained in Somerville's poem, which ought to be in 
the library of every kennel. The owners and breeders of show dogs have 
much to learn from the hunt kennels. Three things are essential to the well 
being of any dogs — cleanliness, fresh air and exercise. Peter Beckford, 
whose "Thoughts on Hunting," is the greatest work on kennel management 
that has ever been written, has the following to say on the first of these 
requirements: "The keeping of your kennels sweet and clean cannot be too 
much recommended to your feeder; nor should you on any account admit 
the least deviation from it." Therefore, whether a kennel is run for pleasure 
or profit, the investment which yields the best return is cleanliness, and the 
nearer the dog fancier can bring to his establishment asceptic conditions, 
the greater will be his success. If kennels are not healthful, be sure you will 
never succeed in producing good dogs, or in keeping old ones in a state of 
health. This, then, is the prime requisite in establishing a place for the 
care and breeding of dogs. 

Either unlimited money may be used to accomplish this result, or a little 
common sense. The best situation is on a little rise of ground, with a 
southern slope, and if possible protected by trees from the north and east 
winds. Take as much care in choosing a site for your kennels and in the 
construction of them as you would with a dwelling-house, and. you will never 
regret it. The points to be considered in planning kennel buildings are drain- 
age, protection, food and water, and room for exercise. Damp hollows should 
be avoided as a pestilence. Unquestionably the south side of a gently sloping 
hill offers the best site. If the exercise (so-called) yards are not covered 
with cement, brick or flags, the less shade therein the better, for the sun 
is one of the best disinfectants there is. 

In planning the buildings themselves, the main features to have in mind 
are perfect dryness of the floors, freedom from draughts, plenty of air 
and sunshine in the building, protection from excessive heat or cold, and 
convenience for the owner or kennelman to care for the. animals. Con- 
venience counts for as much as simplicity, and is often equivalent to economy 
of time and labor. To save steps is to save wages, and there is less risk 
of necessary little details being neglected when they can be conveniently done. 
Benjamin Franklin said: "If you want a thing well done, do it yourself." 
It is a very sound saying and applies to kennel management as well as to 
other things. The owner should see to it, whether or not he does any work 
himself, that his orders are properly carried out. The system of kennelling 

34 



dogs separately at night is sometimes preferable to that of keeping two or 
more together, as it simplifies the problem of ventilation, prevents barking 
and quarreling, and the writer has no use for a lot of noisy dogs in a 
kennel. There is always something wrong in the planning of the building 
cr in. the management when dogs raise the roof at night, and minimizes the 
danger of disease. Only those who agree should be stalled together. The 
question of exercise must also be considered in planning the arrangement of 
the building. Yards are necessary for the dogs to walk out in and as a 
means of helping to keep the building clean and sanitary, but as a means 
of exercise the writer considers them a dismal failure and personally would 
consider keeping dogs in roomy boxes a better method, provided the dogs 
receive the proper exercise. 

Right here the methods used in the hound kennels are the best. The 
proper rule is to walk out the first thing in the morning; again after feeding, 
and sometime in the afternoon, this latter being a considerable outing. More

real exercise is obtained this way in twenty minutes than will be obtained 
all day in a run where dogs either rage up and down the fence or dig a 
hole and lie around. If Airedales are properly disciplined, a great many can 
be taken out together on a walk, and will get on all right, but it is risky to 
turn a lot loose in a large run unless the trouble makers are always omitted. 
In one well-known Airedale kennel, that for a considerable time enjoyed 
a large success the dogs were housed in a long continuous run of loose 
boxes, the same as horse stalls, with dirt floors, and a sleeping bench 18 inches 
from the floor, made like those in hound kennels with one-fourth inch space 
between the slats. An inside passage connected the stalls, and the front of 
the building was practically open. One large run of several acres was 
used. All the dogs of bad dispositions had separate houses and were kept 
on wires with a trolley. The show dogs were kept in a separate building, 
and each bitch and litter had a colony house and yard of its own. An old 
barn was fixed up with an exercising room, and places upstairs for bitches 
in season, storage of crates, etc. With a small building for a hospital this 
kennel was quite complete, and decidedly inexpensive. The whitewash brush 
was used extensively and everything was clean and neat. The dogs were 
fed on the hound plan, being chained up in a row outdoors in summer and 
the food placed before them when the last dog was chained and no dogs 
were let loose until all the pans had been removed. 



35 



The writer has visited a great many kennels, both in England and 
America, including hound kennels, and as far as dogs are concerned, believes 
the English are far ahead of the Americans as far as their dogs and kennel 
management are concerned. They do not, however, have as severe winter 
weather as we do; nor as a rule have such hot months as July and August. 
Some years ago, Mrs. M. E. Gates, Jr., one of our oldest fanciers while in 
England wrote an interesting account of the housing and kennel management 
of show Airedales in England, and sent it on to Field and Fancy, which 
was so good that I take the liberty of quoting it almost entire : 

"First of all," it must be remembered that it is extremely rare for the 
brood bitch to whelp in the home kennels. If she is a show bitch; she is, 
when in show form, under the care of the kennel manager; if she is kept 
exclusively for breeding, she probably makes her home with a family in the 
village all the jear round. At all events the bitoh in whelp is not kept 
long with other dogs, but is given the comforts of the cottage kitchen and 
a warm nest beside the stove. Until from six to eight months of age, all 
puppies are kept at walk, either singly or in pairs, thus having every oppor- 
tunity for healthy development. 

"The average board for puppies is six shillings, and I presume one 
would pay eight or iten shillings for a grown bitch. It seems a very low 
price to us, but there are dozens of poor people in every English village who 
will gladly give the best of affectionate care to a dog for that sum. Walks, 
where this care and good food are not given are soon detected and one 
avoids them in future. So then in planning to house a number of Airedales, 
the needs of grown stock only are ,to be considered, and how much that 
eliminates from the program only those of us know who have worked 
frantically to keep a new born litter warm on a winter's day; or a lot of 
youngsters from growing weedy and ill-tempered in cramped kennel quarters. 

"Most dog men in England believe in what in poultry raising is called 
'the colony system.' Instead of one large building containing separate stalls 
or compartments opening into a passage or hallway, a number (as many 
as necessary), of small portable houses are grouped about the grounds set 
apart for the dogs. The little buildings hold two Airedales each, and 
however you look at :it, are far more satisfactory than a house where a 
score or more are under one roof. The dogs are not excited by the presence 
of a lot of their fellows, where one growl will set the whole kennel in an 
uproar. They are able to rest more quietly and most important of all the 
sanitation is much better. If one dog developes skin trouble it will not be 
communicated to all the others before the kennel man is aware of its exist- 
ence, but can be completely isolated. These little houses have wooden shutters 
which are raised to admit light and air through strong iron bars behind and 
the whole structure is raised six inches from the ground so that there is 
no dampness. 

"They do not care much for enclosed outdoor runs in England and 
their reasons are good ones. The dogs are taken out to walk on leads on 
the hard roads where they learn ring manners instinctively and where they 
get what is best for their feet. Once or twice a week they are taken, a 
number at a time, to the open fields if they are near, or to the village 
common and given a good free run, any kind of spontaneous enjoyment bein^ 
encouraged that lies within the bounds of safety. After exercise, the dogs 
are returned to the kennels and shut up. Now the best reason for managing 
them this way is this : The dog, while Ln his kennel house is curled up, 

36 



asleep, while he is out/ on the go, active, up on his toes. He is not at any 
time straining on his hind legs, barking through the wire fence, or sitting 
huddled before the gate, waiting for some one to come and amuse him, nor 
is he so bored with his existence in the kennel run that he becomes snappish 
with his kennel mates. Add to all this the fact that next to no room is 
needed to keep any number of dogs and that while they are shut up they 
require no watching and there is no doubt but that this system is better than 
ours. I do not see why these same colony houses could not be made 
sufficiently weather-proof to afford ample shelter against our cold winters 
and I am sure if some firm would make them at a reasonable price they 
would find a ready market."

CHAPTER VI. 



Kennels and Kennel Management — Training — General System for Feeding 
Grown Dogs — Reasonable Warmth and Comfort a Necessity — Do Not 
Expect Best Results on One Kind of Food. 



"A savoury stew, bones, broth, and biscuits, is prepared for you." — R. C. L.. 



Food is an important item in the care of the dog. Of course, table 
scraps make the ideal food. In this the home pet has the advantage of 
his friends of the kennel, for he gets a wide variety of well-cooked and 
most nourishing food, and these three, variety, cooking and nourishment tell 
the whole story of good kennel feeding. Sometimes it is possible to pur- 
chase the scraps from some hotel or boarding house as an occasional change 
or regularly. Dog biscuits, which are easy to handle and fairly reasonable 
in price, are excellent as a foundation feed. All dogs should have a certain 
amount and be used to them as they are a convenient form of feed to 
carry to shows, traveling, etc. Dry bread can be bought by the barrel or 
100-lb. sacks from most bakers and is inexpensive and very nourishing. 
Shredded wheat waste and broken crackers can also be purchased at reason- 
able prices and make useful changes. All of these should be fed soaked 
in some soup. 

One of the necessities in any well-regulated kennel is a good cook stove. 
In the winter cornmeal should form one of the staple foods, and is very 
acceptable, but the minute hot weather comes along, its use should be dis- 
continued, as skin troubles will surely result otherwise. Cornmeal can be 
fed particularly to young stock as a mush with milk, or baked as Johnny 
Cake in big pans and fed cut into cakes. 

Perhaps the best kennel food is a home-made dog biscuit. The writer 
some ten years ago, had the pleasure of visiting the Devon and Somerset 
Stag Hound Kennels, one of the finest kennels in England, and perhaps one 
of the oldest pack of hounds in existence, dating back to the time of Queen 
Elizabeth. Their methods of feeding, and in fact the methods generally 
in use in hound kennels are as a rule much superior to those of the show 
dog kennel, and much can be learned from them. The hounds of the Devon 
and Somerset Hunt were fed largely on home-made biscuit made somewhat 
in the following way. Meat stock was boiled over night it large kettles and 
the unstrained stock used with cornmeal, oatmeal or rolled oats and bran 
in making a dough. This was then put in pans two to three inches deep 
and baked till hard all the way through in a slow oven, the baking probably 
taking a day. These cakes are rich food and should not be used too often. 
They should keep quite a number of days and are much relished. 

All dogs like fish, and in summer cheaper fish like carp, make a good 
change. They should be boiled twenty-four hours or until the bones are 
all soft and make a nice change from the winter meat soups. Variety 

38 



stimulates the appetite and produces healthier animals. Do not feed too 
much of any one thing. A dog may thrive well for a long time on one 
kind of food, but it would do better on a variety. Provide variety by giving 
a varied, wholesome diet all the time, not by feeding on one sort of food 
for a few weeks and then changing to another. 

There are many who might be called canine vegetarians. And good 
vegetables can be made fine use of in making soups, but in general long- 
practice has proven meat to be the best and most natural food for the dog.

these daily and you should call for them regularly. A metal can with a cover 
is the best way to handle these meat scraps. 

Mr. R. M. Palmer in his book "All About Airedales" has some interesting 
ideas on feeding, and the kennel owner or manager would do well to pur- 
chase Mr. Palmer's book and read this part well. 

Of course, under no circumstances feed meat that is at all decayed or 
unwholesome, but it does not need to be as fresh as you would demand for 
your own table if you take care that it is thoroughly cooked. For "bad 
doers" or dogs recovering from illness, a fair grade of canned salmon mushed 
up through the feed will quickly set up a dog in poor condition. Airedales, 
as well as most other dogs having a great liking for salmon. It should, of 
course, be all removed from the can or it will cause ptomaine poisoning. 

Sudden and violent changes in the quantity or character of foods supplied 
should be avoided, and when changes are necessary as between summer and 
winter feeding, they must, so far as possible, be made so gradually as not 

39 



to cause any disarrangement of digestion. The novice, perhaps, expects to 
be furnished with exact quantity and variety of food required by his dogs ; 
but the only reliable way is to feed by appetite. Begin with what seems to 
be a reasonable quantity of suitable foods, and then add to or reduce according 
to the general health and condition of special requirements of individ- 
ual animals. 

As to whether in show preparation, in whelp or what, there is ample 
testimony to enable a beginner to judge what foods are suitable, but the 
actual quantity is a matter between the dog and its feeder. No rigid rules 
are applicable, and no specific directions as to quantity of food can be given. 
Some dogs seem to require twice as much as others of about the same size. 

In the kennel, the question of water must not be overlooked. It is certain 
that dogs having constant access to water gain in weight more rapidly than 
those watered only once or twice a day, and that the gain is economically 
made, while they are much less likely to crave an injurious excess of water 
directly after eating. 

The fact that the dog has so relatively small a stomach, would seem 
to indicate that it needs water frequently. The actual quantity required 
seems to depend quite as much on the individuality of the dog as it does 
upon the nature of the food and the amount of the exercise. 

Most kennels feed twice a day, a light lunch in the morning, and the 
regular day's meal in the evening. The morning bite can be bread or biscuit 
with a little soup over them. The evening meal ought to be all that the dog 
will comfortably eat without stuffing. If any food is left in the dishes, the 
dog is either getting too much or is "off his feed" and should have attention. 
Never leave any food in the dishes ; clean it all away. 

Dogs var> as much as people in the amount they will eat. Always 
dogs should be fed from single dishes as otherwise they will gobble. Of 
course hounds eat from troughs, but they are better behaved, and it is hard 
to manage this method with Airedales. The best way is to feed each dog 
in his own box, or to chain the whole lot up so they cannot reach any but 
their own dish. It is foolish to pamper dogs, but equally so to try to treat 
them all alike. 

When dogs have been properly fed in summer, it will not be necessary 
to very greatly change their food in winter. In kennels where the tempera- 
ture is below 75°, warm stews should be served more frequently than usual. 
Green vegetables are also more important than in summer. Where only two 
or three dogs are kept, chop up those vegetables that are kept over from the 
family's use and serve in small quantities thoroughly mixed with other foods, 
so the greens are not left out. 

Animals of all kinds when exposed to a degree of cold involving dis- 
comfort, require extra food to maintain bodily heat and energy, and if such 
exposure is very severe or is prolonged day after day, the digestive machinery 
of the dog will be overtaxed and the general health impaired. All dogs in 
winter require to be comfortable at least, and puppies and growing stock 
must be kept warm. Reasonable warmth and comfort are in a sense food, 
very cheap and easily obtained food too. A dog, like a person that is always 
cold is always uncomfortable, and may shiver off many pounds of flesh. 

The only way to make a profit is to have the dogs comfortable, and a 
little attention in providing comfortable quarters will often make the differ- 
ence between profit and loss. This is a mighty important matter, and one 
often overlooked because people think Airedales are extra hardy dogs. 
Grown dogs may stand it, but the writer believes more growing dogs are 

40 



spoiled by cold, through discomfort and consequent undergrowth and laclc 
of development, than perhaps any other cause. It may be because having 
been born in Texas, the writer himself suffers from the cold, that he has 
so much sympathy for the inmates of chilly kennels. 

One cannot reasonably expect to reap a profit from animals kept in cold 
storage for the winter. When a kennel is so cold through the night that a 
dog has to be blanketed, it needs a better kennel and not a blanket. If a 
kennel is not artificially heated throughout, the sleeping quarters at least 
should have a coal stove in them, or small outdoor colony kennels should be 
placed in every stall, a kennel within a kennel as it were. No amount of feeding 
will do good to a bunch of cold dogs.

Yet -simple and true, 
To the ways of a man with a horse, 

When selling- or racing that same. — K. K. 



The profit in dogs dependst largely upon the age at which they are sold. 
A well bred Airedale puppy is usually more easily sold at two than at six 
months, while in proportion to its cost at that age it brings as good or a 
better profit than an older animal even at a considerably larger price, and 
can stand the journey as well as an older one. From the breeder's point of 
view it is better to shove them off as fast as possible, and even if a future 
champion occasionally slips by, it does not in the long run hurt the breeder 
at all, but quite the contrary. 

The large breeder who is constantly filling orders, naturally sells off 
the best of the litter first, first come first served, the poorest being left till 
last, as they are more difficult to get rid of. From the buyer's point of view 
also, then it is decidedly better to take one's chances with an eight weeks' 
old than a six months' puppy. A good many beginners make a practice of 
holding their puppies in the hope of getting higher prices, but it is far 
better sense to let them go when one can get a fair profit. Cash in the 
pocket is not liable to distemper and a sale is always a sale. As the maid 
said to Peter in that charming story "The Runt" — "There bane lots more 
puppies." Also, price the puppy for what it is worth at the time of sale, 
not for its probable value when carefully grown to maturity. 

Of course, the value of the breeding should enter into account. A puppy 
from a repeat litter, where the first litter of that breeding has had famous 
winners, is of course worth more than ordinarily. 

When buying dogs, always buy young ones or at least, not over three 
years, in the case of purchasing a brood. matron or stud dog. While some old 
dogs are more vigorous than others, it is seldom wise to buy one over five 
years, no matter how famous. In the same way, if a kennel is to keep 
from becoming a home for old dogs, don't keep your dogs until too old. 
Breed a good young bitch in the Spring the first time, get her into show shape 
the following Fall, and if a good offer should be made sell. 

It is never safe to buy bargains in dogs. The best are the cheapest in the 
long run always. Never assume that the seller does not know the worth of 
his stock, usually he overrates it considerably. Really good well-bred Airedales 
are always scarce, and to purchase a good one, one must be willing to pay 
a good price. The more remarkable an apparent bargain, the more dubious 
it becomes. Perfection is not compatible with cheapness. The cheap one 
usually has nothing but its price to recommend it, while the dog which is 
offered cheap and appears of markedly superior appearance, has usually 

42 



something wrong, some fly in the ointment, won't show, or won't breed or 
is a poor doer. The better the dog, the higher the price, is a safe rule to follow. 

Purchasers must not expect too much, and if desirous of getting the best 
stock, must not when dealing with a reputable breeder, try to beat him down 
too much in price. Nor is it reasonable to expect a breeder to send valuable 
young puppies on approval, as if refused, the double railway journey is sure 
to set back the puppy very much. If you cannot trust a breeder's word, it 
would be wiser not to do business with him at all. Better pay a bit more 
and buy from an experienced breeder with a character to lose. 

Before deciding upon a dog, the buyer should know exactly what he 
wants, which is of course governed to some extent by what he is prepared 
or able to pay, and should have sufficient knowledge to be sure he is getting 




ENGLISH CH. LEGRAM'S PRINCESS, by The New King 
ex Cragg House Vixen 

what he wants. When possible, it is always best to visit a kennel yourself 
where you intend to purchase, and make your selection there. But the 
beginner, if not competent to judge for himself, and even the experienced 
judge is sometimes taken in, ought to obtain the guidance of a good judge 
to act in his interest. 

It is always more desirable to buy at home when a dog is not as it 
were on dress parade, than amid the excitement of a show, unless one is 
thoroughly assured of his ability. One should also make allowances for 
some defects, which are bound to show up in even the best specimens after 
longer acquaintance, as it is not always possible to detect everything at 
one examination. 

Few things tend to inspire confidence in a kennel more than continuous, 
temperately worded and truthful advertising, when really backed over a 
period of years, by the production of fine dogs and honest dealing. Occa- 
sional changes of copy create interest, and the kennel that having good stock 

43 



to dispose of, advertises in this way, is the one that becomes most widely 
known, and so sells the dogs and starts an accumulative business through 
its former customers and friends. 

Do not, however, expect your public announcements to do it all. Never 
forget that a pleased customer is your best advertisement. Right here is 
where so many businesses come to grief. Repeat orders are what count. 
Your business grows while your advertising bills become smaller. Your 
press statement is after all merely a means of bringing buyer and seller 
together, an introduction as it were. It may create the new customer, but 
it does not take care of him. 

It should never be lost sight of that the building of a solid kennel busi- 
ness depends upon the way your new customers are treated rather than upon

England; Imported by Mr. G. W. Batson; Sire Crompton 

Oorang ex Daisy Marvel 

getting them in the first place. A sucker may be born every minute, but 
one can't keep on hunting suckers forever, it costs to much ! 

First then, be sure you have the goods to deliver, and then let your 
values, services, and courtesy be such as to make people want to buy your 
stock and tell their friends about it. That is good advertising for you, 
much better than any space you can purchase in a kennel paper. 

Printed matter, remember, too, has personality of its own and see that 
you have neat letterheads and folders. Good taste in printing, paper and 
engravings has considerable advertising value, and is well worth considerable 
expense. The very letter you write is most often the basis upon which a 
distant customer builds his opinion of the quality of your produce: and your 
kennel literature stands for itself to people who have never met you. Take 

44 



time, therefore, over your booklets, stud cards, sales lists, etc., and per- 
sonally make sure the proofs are correct before printing. 

A good camera is also a great aid in selling dogs. The process of 
picture taking is so simple that almost anyone can do fairly good work with 
a kodak with a little practice. A good photograph is worth a dozen written 
descriptions. A good unmounted print of any dog offered for sale enclosed 
in a letter will help tremendously, and in selling puppies a picture of the 
sire and dam. 

Advertising is of course an art and a business in itself. Unless you 
are capable of doing good copy writing, it is better to pay for having it 
done by an expert, if one contemplates expending much money. In any case 
buy Mr. Durstine's book on "Making Advertisements and Making Them 
Pay," and other of the standard writers on this subject. Do not be afraid 
to spend money in advertising, and once started keep it going. Advertising- 
is without any doubt one of the chief secrets of success in selling dogs. It 
is your advertisement that attracts the attention of persons who have never 
Tieard of your kennels or possibly of your stock, and never \yould but for 
your investment in space. 

The method which will usually produce the best results is to give as 
much information in your advertisement, without using so much space as 
to make the advertising bill too expensive. If you have good stock and 
want good prices, advertise in the magazines that reach people of means 
that are willing to pay a good price for a good article. If you value your 
customers' good will and your own lasting reputation, never try to get high 
prices for inferior stock. In answering inquiries give accurate descriptions, 
pedigrees and enclose a booklet about your kennels. Do not hesitate to men- 
tion any defects a dog may have. It is much better business to tell your 
buyer in the first place, than to have him find out for himself afterwards. 
The kennel business that advertises judiciously, that treats its customers 
fairly, that gives service afterwards in information, etc., that answers letters 
promptly and uses good stationery and printing will be successful.

CHAPTER VIII. 



Judging Airedales — General Principles of Livestock Judging — System and 
Method — Ring Etiquette and Manners — Study the Points of Value 
Between Your Show Stock and Your Breeding Foundation. 



'What then makes a dog beautiful? The possession of the excellence of a 

dog." — Epictetus. 



The principles involved in the judging of Airedales are in general the 
same as those that apply to other livestock. In a certain sense, the ability 
to judge properly is a prerequisite to becoming a good breeder. The Master 
Breeders of livestock history have nearly all been notable judges of the first 
order. It is thus essential and necessary to have an understanding of these 
general principles which apply to all livestock judging, and then to see how 
these ideas can be applied to Airedale judging. 

In the first place a distinct differentiation must be made between the selec- 
tion or judging of stock for breeding purposes, and show ring judging. The 
former is by far the more difficult, the more important, and exemplifies a 
far greater degree of knowledge of the breed than the latter. Breeding animals 
have more than an individual worth. They are the progenitors of future 
generations through whom must be transmitted the characteristics of a 
numerous ancestry. They must be judged, therefore, not merely as individuals, 
but as representatives of an ancestry, family, or strain with which the judge 
must or should be familiar, with its faults and its virtues, as the influence 
of these animals selected for breeding will dominate the succeeding generations 
of which they are the foundation. 

It must be borne in mind that no individual dog will represent in his 
physical make-up, all the characteristics which he may have inherited and 
be capable of reproducing in his get, nor yet in some cases any of the char- 
acteristics which he may be capable of transmitting. Thus the absolute failure 
as a sire of some noted show ring winner or champion can be accounted for, 
as well as the superior value as sires or dams of some Airedales, themselves 
not of sufficient merit to win even the humblest show ring honors. 

In the selection of breeding stock, the judge must consider a number of 
important points, that in the show ring are matters of little importance. 
Any animal selected for breeding should conform to its breed characteristics 
very closely. This character can he determined when the judge has a thorough 
knowledge of. the standard of his breed in all its points and in their relation 
to each other. In a bitch selected for use as a matron, her temperament, her 
disposition, and her sex character should be carefully considered. These are 
far more important than any show ring points. She must as far as possible 
have a non-nervous temperament, a kind disposition, and should be distinctly 
feminine in her general make-up and appearance. She should also be 
typical of the particular strain or family that she is derived from, there being 

46 



then a far greater possibility of her being able to transmit these desired 
characteristics. 

The same considerations apply, though perhaps in a lesser degree, to the 
selection of a stud dog. Outside of its purely sporting side, the show ring 
is a most potential agency in promoting wholesome competition, through this 
to a wider and deeper interest in the breed, in promoting the interests of the 
Airedale and in improving the class of those bred through the broader 
knowledge of the desired characteristics, which the novice acquires through 
his efforts to attain show ring honors. 

In order to become a good judge, either of breeding stock or show 
stock, a judge must have a definite idea of what constitutes merit. Full 
information as to individual excellence and breed requirements are essential 
to a correct selection of the ideal type as measured by the accepted standard. 
Thorough information is then the first requirement of a good judge. 




CH. HEDGELEY FLASH, A.K.C.S.B. 119,486. Bred by Russell H. 

Johnson, Jr.; Whelped September 21, 1907. By Wyndhill Vandal 

ex Red Queen 



Yet, one may fully acquire the essential information, may have a clear 
mind picture of what constitutes the ideal, and fail to recognize it when seen. 
The actual measurement of merit through observation of the animal form 
requires keen powers of observation which must be exercised with the nicest 
accuracy. Practical observation is then the second essential of good judging. 

The third consideration is the ability to make accurate comparisons 
between two or more animals. It may be a simple matter more or less to 
give an accurate description of an individual dog, based on information and 
observation, noting all his desirable features as well as principal defects. 
It becomes a matter of a decidedly more difficult nature to balance a superior 
head and neck but bad feet and poor hindquarters of one individual against 
the good legs and feet, moderate neck and head and good hindquarters of 
another, or the good all round, but poor coat, of a third. The judge must 

47 



be able to do this before he can ascertain in the aggregate, the relative merits 
of the different individuals under his consideration and before he can arrive 
at a definite conclusion as to their relative merit. 

The last consideration of good judging is the ability to make a final 
decision or conclusion based on the information, observation and comparisons 
of the various individuals under consideration. It is the ability to return a ver- 
dict on the evidence deduced. A decision once made, it is most gratifying to 
the exhibitors as well as assuring to the judge, if he is able to give full reasons 
for having made the awards as he has done, and a good judge who has 
arrived at his results through system and method, can always if he chooses 
give his reasons for his placings. 

System and method in the show ring are absolute essentials to the 
rendering of correct decisions. Each judge may have his own individual 
method of arriving at his conclusions, but without some sort of system, 
good judging is not possible. In the author's opinion, provided a judge has 
the necessary backing of knowledge and experience, and in medium sized 
' classes, the easy and quick way is to go straight for the winners. First 
impressions are apt to be very good, and the really able judge can readily 
decide in his own mind in the usual class of Airedales, with one 
good look around. In larger classes and bigger shows, more care is 
of course essential. 

In watching a well-known Englishman judge at one of our leading out- 
door shows, some years ago, it was very evident that his method had become 
a matter of habit. Instead of putting the dogs around the ring, which has 
always seemed to the author like looking at a kaleidoscope, he had the dogs 
held in whatever positions they happened to be in, and himself looked them 
all over. He then had the best ones go to one end and the poor ones go 
to the other end, then selected the best of the poorer lot and the poorer 
of the best lot, and looked them over comparatively, finally sending all the 
poorer ones from the ring, before getting down to business. He then selected 
what appeared to be the best of the good ones and compared each of the 
rest with this individual to form his final estimate. / 

Oftentimes, as an old experienced sheep judge once remarked, the 
handlers give an exhibit's faults away by calling attention to them by their 
handling. In the case of the sheep judge, two fine specimens were up for 
the Grand Championship at a big National Show. The handler of one, by 
continually brushing down the fleece in one place, called the judge's attention 
to this particular section of the animal, which disclosed a hollow in the 
animal's topline, which gave the award to the other animal. 

In the case of Airedales, no really experienced judge is to be easily 
deceived, but the advice of the sheep judge is worth bearing in mind. 

In a very large class of Fox Terriers at an English Show, the author 
once watched the judge calmly eliminate every animal that had any out- 
standing fault, no matter how good other sections were, and where the 
general type of animal shown is alike, this is unquestionably a very fair way. 

The best animals, should be well-balanced, unexaggerated and symmet- 
rically preportioned animals, all sections fitting together to form a harmonious 
whole. Often the judge gets too close on top of his dogs to properly see 
their general outline, and in comparative judging it is advisable to face the 
dogs under consideration the same way, and to stand off far enough to get 
a good comparison of their outlines and symmetry and general harmonious 
proportions, this often being the deciding factor between otherwise very 
close specimens. 

48 



For further considerations as to judging, the reader is referred to two 
very good works on this subject, "Principles and Practice of Judging Live 
Stock" by Gay, and "Judging Live Stock" by Craig, both of which are 
standard text books on the question. 

In addition to the judge's knowledge of his work, there remains the 
exhibitor's consideration in showing dogs — the Etiquette of the Ring and 
the Manners of the Exhibited. Mr. Vinton P. Breese, has written so ably 
on this question that the writer can not do better than to quote from Mr. 
Breese, "Another phase of the situation is in giving the public a square 
deal. There is really no call for ever touching a dog in theshow ring unless 
requested to do so by the judge, or until the dog is lead up on the judging 
block, and then only as a matter' of precaution, a possible fight with other 
dogs that may happen to be on the block at the same time. 

"After a judge's preliminary examination of the dogs around the ring 
and his having them moved to determine action, soundness, etc., individual 




CLONMEL VICTORIA.

Brood Matron 



dogs are called to be brought up on the block. Invariably the judge will stand 
facing the block, and it is always much more satisfactory to him, and in 
fact to all hands concerned, to have the dogs trotted up on the block facing 
him from the opposite side of the ring. Should the dog called for happen 
to be behind or to one side of the judge, it is excellent ring etiquette to 
walk the dog around the ring until a position opposite the judge is reached, 
then trot the dog up and stop him squarely in the middle of the block. This 
manner of showing, not only facilitates the work of judging, but affords the 
ringsiders an opportunity to see what is taking place." 

If the prominent professional handlers are watched, it will be noted 
that to a man, they adopt this manner of showing all breeds, and much of 
their success is due to it. The reason for this is that they have discovered 
that by proper training, a dog can be made to show and show himself far 

49 



better than mortal man can ever do it for him. Many a nip-and-tuck contest 
has been won, through confidence on the dog's part, and the proper kind 
of handling on his handlers. Airedale fanciers who have witnessed Mr. 
Russell H. Johnson, Jr., showing one of his beautifully mannered terriers 
on a long loose lead, or who saw Mr. Lomas and Vickery Soubrette, or have 
watched Mr. George H. Thomas in the show ring, can have some idea of 
what a help to a dog this kind of handling is. 

"The dog show is an institution," writes Mr. Breese, "where dogs are 
supposed to be, and should be, judged entirely upon their individual merits; 
where the dog exhibited by the amateur will receive equally as much con- 
sideration as the one exhibited by the professional handlers. Taking two 
dogs of about equal merit, one showing himself in an indifferent manner, and 
the other deporting himself with all the style and action required of him, 
naturally the honors will go to the latter dog. We have frequently witnessed 
instances of this character, where the winning dog was being shown by a 
professional handler, and have heard remarks made such as, "No wonder 
he won, see whose handling him." Remarks of this character are entirely 
uncalled for. Invariably, the professional handler has his dogs trained to 
perfect show form, and knows how to bring out all the good that is in 
them. All of this requires much time, and hard work on the part of the 
handlers, and so long as he transgresses none of the rules of clean sports- 
manship, his dog should win over another equally as good a specimen, 
showing himself in a slovenly manner. Disposition and deportment must 
always be given due consideration by a judge." 

At a leading Airedale show some years ago, where one of our oldest 
and most prominent judges was officiating, a dog, and a good specimen at 
that, was brought into a very small and crowded ring. The exhibitor en- 
couraged the dog to bark, bite, and bang up against the other dogs until 
the ring was in a turmoil. Although cautioned by the judge, he paid little 
attention to it, and was finally ordered from the ring, where with care in 
showing properly, he might have been in the money. It was a case of bad 
manners on the part of both dog and handler, and the action of the judge 
was perfectly justified. 

The unwritten law of dog showing is good sportsmanship on the part 
of the handler, and good ring manners on the part o fthe exhibited. If these 
are observed by all, the dog show game is bound to progress and to flourish, 
and the cause of the Airedale to advance in popular favor.

slightly to the eyes, free from wrinkle. Stop hardly visible, and cheeks free 
from fullness. Jaw deep and powerful, well filled up before the eyes, lips tiffht. 
Ears V-shaped with a side 1 carriage, small but not out of proportion to the 
size of the dog. The nose black. The eyes small and dark in color, not promi- 
nent, but full of Terrier expression. The teeth strong and level. 

Neck. — Should be of moderate length and thickness, gradually widening 
toward the shoulders and free from throatiness. 

Shoulders and Chest. — Shoulders long and sloping well into the back, 
shoulder blades flat. Chest deep, but not 'broad.

AIREDALE STANDARD SIMPLIFIED 

BY W, E. BAKER, Jr. 



A FEW years ago the question was raised as to whether the Airedale 
Standard should be revised. At the time it was left unsettled either by 
the discussion in the kennel press or by the purported investigation by 
the committee appointed by the Airedale Club. Occasionally since this vexed 
question has been revived in communications to the kennel press, principally 
as to size, coat, and color. Much of what has appeared in public print has 
been of interest, and in a measure of benefit to the breed, hut so varied have 
been the ideas as to type, color, etc., expressed by fanciers in different

localities that frequently the novice breeder has become so confused as to 
what was correct type and character that he also has appealed to the press 
lor information from those qualified to give it. 

Again, those who have been interested in following the show game and 
have seen the very inconsistent judging at our principal shows must have 
come to the inevitable conclusion that something was wrong. To the un- 
prejudiced mind it would seem that the breed suffered a severe handicap 
from its owners, well meaning, perhaps, but ignorant, who have so freely 
expressed their views in print, assuming that the purchase or lucky breeding 
of some noted winner has given them the authority to express their views. 
Fortunately the Airedale is blessed in having a small but true band of ad- 
mirers who have stood by the breed for many years, have seen the start and 

56 



•finish of many kennels, and breeders, whose interest has flagged after three 
or four years and the discovery that it takes brains, patience, trouble, time 
and money, to produce Terriers able to top the prize lists year after year. 
These true breeders are the real backbone of the fancy and are the final 
arbiters on the question of standard. They do not lose sight of the fact 
that the existing standard has brought the Airedale to its present state of 
popularity, backed, of course, by the dogs own good qualities, which have 
won it a recognized place among dog owners in general, not interested from 
the exhibitor's or breeder's point of view. In the keen competition to pro- 
duce bench show winners, the true sporting purpose for which the dog is 
intended must never be lost sight of. In breeding and judging the essential 
features of the breed based on its utility to its purpose must receive the 
greatest attention. The courage, hardy constitution and adaptability to all

sorts of work have won the Airedale his popularity. These essential char- 
acteristics must never be lost or sacrificed in any effort, however desirable, 
to produce purely arbitrary fancy points or the breed will suffer. We must 
get back in our breeding aims to producing the real Airedale— a dog capable 
and willing to do any work required of him, at the same time in style, con- 
formation and character measuring up to our best bench show requirements. 
This is not an impossibility — breed for the essentials — courage, jaw 
power, hard coats, bone and substance, first — then try for the finer qualities 
of front, style, color, etc. On the part of many exhibitors and breeders this 
broader view has been lost. The something wrong is the interpretation of 
the standard — the losing 'sight in the chase after color or other craze, of the 
fact that a good dog must be good all over — not phenomenal anywhere in 
particular. The standard is not far wrong all through — interpreted correctly. 
The fact that there is no such thing as a working type of Airedale and a 

57 



small, nervous show type, must be made clear. There is only one correct 
type of Airedale for any purpose he may be put to. There is no possible 
excuse for breeding soft-coated, houndy eared, thick skulled, light eyed mutts 
and calling them working type of Airedale than there is for breeding small, 
nervous, all quality show type, so-called, lacking in bone, substance, game- 
ness, or any essential of the real working dog. It must be firmly fixed in 
the breeders' mind that the one and only correct ideal is the combination c£ 
the best qualities of the real champion show dog with all the abilities and 
qualities of the true "waterside" Terrier, as our friend, the Airedale, was 
once called. Put an end once and for all time to any idea that there is 
any but one standard Airedale, bred for business and show ring, and bred 
to conform to the standard as it is.

THE AIREDALE TERRIER STANDARD 
SIMPLIFIED FOR THE NOVICE 



THE purpose of this article is to explain as simply as pssible the above 
Standard to the novice fancier, though it is hoped it may prove useful to the 
veteran fancier in perhaps clarifying his own ideas. Much discussion has 
taken place from time to time as to whether the Airedale Standard should 
be revised. It is not intended to take sides or to enter into these discussions 
in this article. As long as the Standard remains as originally drawn up the 
fancier should endeavor to thoroughly grasp and understand the meaning 
of the Standard — and to direct his breeding efforts to produce a type of 
Terrier which conforms to that Standard — which the novice and veteran alike 
should In- ir in mind, lias brought the Airedale to its present popular position. 

On many of the points of difference in the discussions raised in the 
kennel press on the interpretation of this Standard there are possibly good 
grounds for honest differences in opinion. Where such exist, we believe in 
conservatism — not going to extremes on either side of the question. No 
attempt is made in any way to set up a new Standard in any detail or to 
revive any discussions of this Standard, nor is this simplied Standard offered 
in any way as official. 

It is simply to point out how the best judges interpret this Standard 
in applying its provisions to the Airedale considered correct today However, 
it should be distinctly understood that we do not refer to those judges who 
in the ring Mistinctly show their personal likes and dislikes in regard to 
type, size, color and other disputed points — except possibly where the Stand- 
ard as written is not exactly enough specified to make the real meaning suf- 
ficiently clear — though the endeaver should always be to follow the implied 
meaning of the standard in all sections where possible. 



sr 



THE AIREDALE STANDARD SIMPLIFIED 



HEAD. — Long with flat skull, not too broad between the ears and narrow- 
ing slightly to the eyes, free from wrinkle. Stop hardly visible, and cheeks 
free from fullness. Jaw deep and powerful, well filled up before the eyes, lips 
tight. Ears V-shaped with a side carriage, small but not out of proportion 
to the size of the dog. The nose black. The eyes small and dark in color, not 
prominent, but full of Terrier expression. The teeth strong and level. 



Length — The length of head of a full grown, well developed, properly 
proportioned Airedale male of correct size — measured with calipers from 
the back of the occipital bone to the nostrils should average 9 inches in 
length. The female proportionately less ; & r / 2 inches being a fair average. 
Any measurement in excess of length given above nearly always indicates 
a long backed; over sized specimen which should be severely handicapped 
in competition with dogs of the right length of head, properly proportioned 
and of correct size. Very rarely — almost in the nature of a freak — a dog

FIG. 1 



of correct size, correct length of back, may have a longer head than the 
limit given. The usual result is to cause the dog to appear out of pro- 
portion to his head. While to some such a dog may appear desirable, he 
should be placed below a dog equally good but better balanced. In a well 
balanced head the length of the foreface and the length of the skull should 
be about equal, though the foreface may properly be slightly longer, the fore- 
face being considered the distance from the nostril to the stop or point 
between the eyes, and the skull from this point to the back of the occipital 
bone. If the foreface is noticeably shorter the effect is to give the 
head as a whole a weak and unfinished effect. This is a bad fault. 
On the other hand, if the skull is too short, resulting in the placement of

61 



the eye too near the oars and too high in the head, the expression of the 
dog is completely spoiled — and he has the so-called "foreign" expression 
that is a great detriment to a Terrier and must be considered very bad. 
The whole effect must be one of good proportion and balance as far as the 
length of the various portions of the head are concerned. 

Skull — The top line or contour of the skull should be almost, flat, 
sloping slightly to and gradually diminishing in width towards the eyes. It 
may properly have a slight groove or indentation along the center line from 
the stop upwards, which gradually widens and flattens out. Any forma- 
tion of bone in the nature of a "bump" above the eyes is faulty, and the

Doreda Kennels, Highland Park, 111. 



apple or domed formation of skull between the ears is equally faulty. There 
should be no wrinkle and the skin on the skull should be smooth. In the 
full grown male dog, properly proportioned, of correct size, the circum- 
ference of the skull measured in the thickest part should average 13V£ 
inches. Bitches slightly less. If this measurement is exceeded the skull is 
termed coarse, while if much less the dog will have a bitchy appearance in 
head. Both are faults. Not too broad between the ears does not convey 
the exact meaning in defining a coarse or bitchy head, but the space between 
the ears may give the appearanc of coarseness or bitchiness if the ears are 
placed too far apart or too close together, or carried to appear so, and the 
whole effect of the thickness of skull and placement of ears should be one 
of good proportion, with the length and thickness of skull. 

62 



FOREFACE — The fore i ace should gradually taper, but slightly, t rom eye 
to nostril, and should dip slightly at its juncture with the forehead, that 
is, between the eyes, as explained by the words "stop hardly visible" in the 
standard. The foreface should not dish or fall away before the eyes, but 
be well filled up with bone. However, it should not be too wedgy in appear- 
ance, but should be slightly chiselled or cut away before the eyes. A dog 
with no stop, and such occasionally occur, is not as desirable as one with 
the stop slightly visible, as he loses in refinement and character to the latter. 
A dog with too much stop is still more faulty. In appearance this may be 
remedied by leaving on and brushing up the hair that grows here. How- 
ever, a dog correctly formed before the eyes needs no hair here and is far 
better without it in appearance. The circumference of the foreface just 
before the eyes should be about 9-K inches, and slightly less measured at the 
beginning of the nostrils. 

-^^i ! f \> 



■■^ 




Cheeks — The cheeks should be free from "cheekiness" or excessive 
muscular or bony development of the jaw, which is both unsightly and un- 
necessary. This does not mean that there should be any lack of well de- 
veloped jaw bones and strong, level teeth. Both upper and lower jaws must 
be muscular and the 

Teeth, as nearly as possible, level and capable of closing together like 
a vise — the lower canines locking in front of the upper and the points of the 
upper incisors slightly overlapping the lower. It is not necessary that a 
dog should have a perfect mouth ; if the teeth he has are good enough to 
do business with in a strong, powerful jaw. The lips should be tight. Iu 
the head lacking power in foreface and weak in underjaw, resulting in a 
bitchy or feminine expression, while better than the thick, coarse head, the 
formation called "pig jaw"' is apt to be noticed. Both the faulty mouths- 
pig jawed and undershot, while extremely undesirable to breed from, are 
not such bad faults unless so noticeable as to be seen by the practiced eye 
without inspection. In the judging ring it is not necessary to examine a 
dog's mouth unless it is noticeably bad, except in the case of dogs close 



63 



together in general excellence, when a close inspectiovi of the mouths would 
be in order and the result counted in the final decision. 

Ears — Should be small but in proportion to the size of the dog; in a 
dog of correct size, about 4 inches long and V-shaped ; of a moderate thick- 
ness, and should neatly fold over but should not fall like a Fox Terriers 
ear to the front and high, but be carried distinctly to the side of the cheek 
with the top line or break but little above the top line of the skull. ' A 
pendulous ear hanging loosely to the side or falling back like a Hound's is 
uncharacteristic of a Terrier and is a bad fault — a semi-erect ear is still 
more undesirable, and while many seem to like the Fox Terrier ear on the 
Airedale, it is absolutely not correct, and the Airedale with such an ear, 
while he may seem snappier, smarter, and more of a Terrier, loses the more 
sedate expression and character that he should possess quite distinct from 
that of the Fox Terrier. This is an important point.

Oakroyd Terror ex Rosebank Countess 

Nose — The nose should be black. 

Eyes — Should be dark in color, moderately small and not prominent, 
but full of Terrier expression, intelligence and courage. Should have a 
more quiet, dignified expression than the Fox Terrier. Eyes should be 
spaced about 2$/\ inches apart on centres — either too close or too wide apart 
hurts the expression. The eye should be oval shaped, not round Anything 
approaching a yellow eye is very objectionable. A round, full eye is also 
objectionable. The skin surrounding the eye should be fine in quality and 
the most correct color is dark hazel. Some fanciers advocate a black eye. 
This does not improve the expression. A round small eye is not desirable; 
while not as faulty as the protruding or large round eye, it gives a cunning 
expression to the dog. A large, soft eye, or any eye with rings around it 
are worst of all. Occasionally a lighter self colored eye occurs, which 

64 



frequently harmonizes with the tan color expression and is right in size 
and placement. A black rim to the eyelid adds expression and character. 
A deep set eye is also faulty. There are, of course, many more variations to 
the eye, but the dark hazel, almond shaped eye with black rimmed eyelid 
of medium size is most desirable. 

Whisker — The standard makes no mention of hair on the muzzle, com- 
monly called whisker. However, the hair on the muzzle and eyebrow, or 
the want of it, largely adds to or takes from the character of the head. 
Too much whisker, particularly of a soft sort, indicates almost certainly 
a soft coated dog, which will be discussed under coat, and is unnecessary, 
out of place and detrimental to the dog's appearance, taking away the hard 
bitten look. There should be enough whisker of a hard sort to give a dis- 
tinctly different character to the head than in a smooth coated Terrier — 




FIS.3 



as the Fox Terrier. It should be most profuse toward the end of the muzzle 
and underjaw. Very scanty between the eyes and on top of the muzzle. 

Character — The head, which is the index of all breeds, shows or forms 
to a large degree the character of the dog. This quality of character is 
rather elusive, and probably no question on any subject connected with the 
Airedale is less understood. It may be properly defined as a combination in 
proper proportion of expression, quality, temperament, carriage, liberty, 
coats and contour. 

The eye, expression, the coat on head and the chiselling of the foreface 
and skull combine to give character to the Airedale's head. However, the 
head may be well formed, nicely balanced, with long, strong foreface, well 
shaped skull, good eyes and ears, but it may not be quite Airedale in charac- 
ter. Irish, Fox and Welsh Terriers may have good heads for their re- 
spective breeds, but on the body of an Airedale would be out of character. 
Particularly it must be noted that the Airedale ears have a side carriage and 
anything approaching a Fox Terrier ear on an Airedale is out of character.

Similarly, the expression and particularly the eyes go a long way toward 
making up the character of the head. The Airedale expression should be 
quieter than that of the Fox Terrier. 



NECK. — Should be of moderate length and thickness, gradually widening 
towards the shoulders and free from throatiness. 



Neck — Should be clean, muscular, of a good length in proportion to 
the body and length of back of the dog; free from throatiness; gradually 
widening toward shoulders and presenting an arch or graceful curve when 
viewed from the side. The circumference around the throat and behind ears 
should be about 13% inches in a full grown, well proportioned dog of cor- 
rect size; about 15 to 15% inches around the collar, and about 7 inches from 
occipital bone to withers. These dimensions may vary in some degree as

the neck must be in proportion to the rest of the dog. With a dog with a 
head which we have defined as coarse, provided such a dog has a proportion- 
ately large and strong jaw, the length of foreface to give the whole proper 
proportion and a neck exceeding dimensions given, but in proportion the 
total effect is correct in shape and character, though inclined on the coarse 
order. The neck is so intimately connected with and part of the head that 
in the "tout ensemble" it should lie considered along with the heid. Throat- 
iness, or a short thick-set neck will absolutely offset and spoil an otherwise 
perfect head and expression. Let us consider the heads that accompany 
and illustrate this article. That if Fig. 1 is long enough and strong 
enough in muzzle to please the most fastidious. The skull is fat and the 
jawbones, though powerful, are not cheeky. The throat curves away very 

67 



cleanly from the underjaw and the latter is strong enough. The eye is 
correctly placed. The ears are carried right and are the right size. 

In Fig. 2 the ears are too large and out of proportion to the rest of 
the head. There is entirely too much whisker .or hair between the eyes on 
the upper part of the foreface. On the whole, a nice head, but lacking 
slightly in Terrier character, and too strong in skull. 

Fig. 3 shows a long head, but a ridiculous amount of whisker. However, 
this is no exaggeration, such heads are all too frequent on the bench. It 
is a sure and certain indication of a soft coat when a dog carries a whisker 
of this sort. Fig. 1 shows about the right amount of whisker, particularly 
in the stop or between the eyes. A flat skull. A very typical Airedale 
head, with a strong foreface, muzzle and jaw. 



SHOULDERS AND CHEST.— Shoulders long and sloping well into the 
hack, shoulder blades flat. Chest deep but not broad. 



Shoulders and Chest — The better understood term "front" taken in an 
Airedale sense describes in one word the shoulders, chest, legs and feet. 
Fig. 4 shows a well nigh perfect front. It is to be noted that looking at 
the Airedale head-on there should be a distinct slope from the set-on of 








n<*.<r. 



neck to the elbow, the body being distinctly set on the legs and not hung 
between them, good shoulders in the latter case being quite impossible. The 
chest should be fairly wide and deep in brisket. A narrow chest and con- 
sequently narrow front, even if the legs are straight and set on right, is 
almost as bad as the out at elbow front, for the slope from set-on of neck 
to elbow is lacking and the whole effect is one of weakness. The length 
of leg in a full grown Airedale dog of correct size averages about 14 indies, 
around the forearm 7 inches, the height at the shoulder 22 inches, the depth 
and girth of the brisket 25 inches. These measurements are the average 



arrived at from the actual measurement of a number of noted winners and 
typical Airedales — all dogs of correct size and of moderation in all respects. 

In looking at a good front from the side, the forelegs should not appear 
set in under the dog, as in Fig 6, and the chest protruding. To those familiar 
with horses it is easy to explain a good shoulder, chest and front by saying 
that the conformation should be on the same lines as the thoroughbred horse 
— and a saddle placed on the back of a Terrier should fall naturally over 
the big spring of ribs and not upon the withers. 

A good front on an Airedale is a necessity — but it should not carry too 
much weight in the judging ring for a dog with great style and a beautiful 
front is far too apt to "get away" with otherwise really bad outs. Fig. 5 
shows what may be considered a moderate front — such a dog — longer in 
back, leggier, and not quite the style of Fig. 4, should be placed above 
Fig. 4, however, should the latter dog have a bad coat or other bad out. 



BODY. — Back short, strong and straight. Ribs well sprung. 



In general the types of body can be divided into three classes, the short 
legged, chunky, cobby dog; the medium, moderate, good all-round sort, and 




"HOT," by Clonmel Monarch Out of Pretty Florrie; Perhaps the Most 
Stylish and Best Fronted Airedale Yet Shown in America 



the leggier, large, long backed type — as shown by Figs. 6, 4 and 5 — of course 
with all degrees of variation. Fig. 4 shows the ideal type. Everything in 
proportion. Nothing exaggerated. A level, short back, about 18^ inches; 
a big spring of rib and good brisket, about 25 inches ; a strong loin, close 
coupled, powerful hind-quarters ; a nice neck, about 7 inches from withers 
to occipital bone; the right length of foreleg, about 14 inches; a strong 
forearm, about 7 inches circumference ; the right height at the shoulder, 22 
inches or a trifle over. Weight, 44 to 47 pounds. 

Fig. 5 shows an excellent type of Airedale, a little longer in back, quite 
pardonable in a bitch — not quite so close coupled, a little droop at the stern, 

69 



not quite the style or front of the other. In head the ears are carried a 
little lower, the skull a trifle domed, the 1'oreface and jaw a trifle weaker — 
the head perhaps a trifle longer. This is a moderately good Airedale. 

Fig. 6 shows a type of Airedale quite frequently met with and one some 
judges readily "fall for." This dog is out of proportion. His neck is too 
long. He is too flat underneath. There being little contrast between the 
brisket and the loin. He is also a bit throaty. In length of head, foreface, 
ear carriage, he is better than Fig. 5, but should not be preferred on that 
account, unless Fig. S should have a soft coat. 

In body look for the type illustrated by Fig. 4, with plenty of substance 
and bone, but not so as to appear or in any way suggest coarseness. 



HINDQUARTERS. — Strong and muscular, with no droop. Hocks well let 
down. The tail set on high, carried guyly, but not curled o\er the back. 



The hindquarters are an important part of the Terrier whole. They 
should first be proportionate to the type and general appearance of the 




F\G- 5 



..5^ 



individual dog. Should have a good bend of back with plenty of hard 
quality muscle without bossiness and the tail should be set on just right to. 
give perfection to the picture — a low set tail often spoiling the general ap- 
pearance of an otherwise fine dog to a very marked degree — while the 
squirrel or curled over tail is also faulty. The hock is a most important 
feature of the hindquarters. The sketch in Fig. 4 shows hindquarters that 
are about right — strength, quality and proportion, with the hocks well let 
down. "Cow hocks" in an Airedale are a very bad fault and no dog should 
be used for breeding, particularly a bitch who has this fault badly, as it 
is very hard to eradicate and will crop out sometimes and spoil an otherwise 
promising youngster. Of course, this fault is sometimes due to a puppy 
having had poor care. The opposite fault of the hocks turning out is also 
extremely undesirable, like a pigeon-toe front. The straight stiff proppy 
hindquarter is another undesirable one — and also the thin, weedy sort, as 
indicated in the sketch — Fig. 6. In action the hind legs should move true and 
the whole should give an appearance of strength and ability to gallop. 

70 



LEGS AND FEET. — I-egs perfectly straight, with plenty of hone, 
small and round, with a good depth of pad. 



Under "front," the subject of legs has been pretty well covered. .This 
article of the standard is plain. However, plenty of bone — one is not to look 
for the cart horse type of bone enough to be proportionate to the dog as a 
whole. Personally, while not belittling the neat, small, round foot with 
arch toes and a lot of pad, I do not think a small foot is the "sine qua ncn" 
some take it for. However, the foot should not be large and sprawly and 
a good depth of pad is essential for the dog to do the work it is sometimes 
called on to do. The small, round foot gives a finish to the front that the

Mr. Joseph M. Hunt, Meadow Brook Farm, Leetonia, Ohio 

dog with a larger foot lacks, and while unquestionably the most desirable 
from a purely utilitarian point, is not such an essential. 

COAT. — Hard and wirey, and not so long- as to appear ragged; it should 
lie straight and close, covering the dog well all over the hody and legs. 



The question of coat in the Airedale is a most vital one. It has been 
the subject of much discussion and difference of opinion. Personally I 
believe the consideration in the judging ring given to coat is far from what 
it should he. I would far rather see a real coat than an extra quarter inch 
of head, a shade darker eye or trifle better front, put a dog to the fore. 
There seems to be no end of misunderstanding on this subject of coat, and 
it seems as if the word "hard and wirey" conveyed no meaning at all to the 
average Airedale judge. What is a wire coat? Briefly, a real wire coat i3 
one that bar a certain amount of "neating up" cannot be improved on. The 
sort of coat we want on the Airedale and that not 15 per cent of the Terriers 
shown today possess. 

71 



A good coated Airedale should possess no soft hairs, little or no fluff, 
no silky hairs on the top of the skull, and no nanny-goat whiskers on the 
muzzle. No matter how the skillful artist can put down a poor coat to 
temporarily give a fair imitation of the real thing, the fluffy whisker is 
always a dead give-away. This sort of whisker is never seen on a dog of the 
real hard type of coat. The right coat is close and dense, with plenty of 
undercoat ; when rubbed the wrong way it is impossible to get down to the 
hide. Personally I should like to see a soft coat on an Airedale an absolute 
disqualification, and the semi-soft coat with its absurd whisker and its ob- 
viously eliminated fluff the severest kind of handicaps to its possessor. 

Unfortunately, it is hard for a judge to put down an otherwise really 




FIS. 6. 



top notch Terrier for one fault — but a real coat is an absolute essential 
of a good Airedale. 

Unfortunately for the breed — several of these miserable coated ones, 
cleverly handled, have won at New York 'and other big shows, even acquiring 
the coveted title of champion — an honor absolutely undeserved. 



COLOR. — The head and ears, with the exception of dark markings on each 
side of the .skull, should be tan, the ears being of n darker shade than the rest. 
The legn up to the thighs and elbows being: also tan, the body black or 
dark gri/./.le. 



Another subject on which there has from time to time been considerable 
discussion is the color of Airedales. On this subject the Standard is explicit 
enough. There is no qualification of the word tan — it is not deep red tan — but 
simply tan — not straw color, but tan — with the ears a darker shade than the 
rest — the deep red color tan seen on some specimens and preferred by many 
—it being one of the "crazes" that occasionally take hold of a fancy is not 
correct Airedale color; neither is a grizzle, provided it is a dark grizzle in 
any way inferior to a black back. The question of color of an Airedale is 
more or less of an unimportant point — probably a good strong tan — not a 
mahogany red — and a good, well defined, cleanly marked black saddle is the 
best color. The legs and thighs should also be well tanned up — a dark or 

72 



smutty colored, ill defined saddle being very detrimental to a smart, snappy 
appearance. Nearly all Airedales go slightly red up the back as they age, 
and provided a dog has a hard coat, such a dog is infinitely to be preferred 
to a soft coated black one. 



SIZE. — Dogg, 40 to 45 pounds weight. Bitches .siiuini.i les». 



(It is the unanimous opinion of the Club that the size of the Airedale Ter- 
rier as given in the above Standard is one of, if not the most important charac- 
teristic of the breed; all judges who shall henceforth adjudicate on the merits 
of the Airedale Terrier shall consider undersized specimens of the breed 
severely handicapped when competing with dogs of the standard weight.) 



On the question of size the Airedale controversy has raged. There can 
be no question that most of the noted Airedale Terrier champions have 
weighed slightly in excess of the maximum weight given in the Standard

though many have been closely around the Standard weight. In the note 
to the Standard the question of handicapping undersized Terriers is rather 
out of date — the question really up for consideration is what to do with 
the oversized ones. Usually oversize brings its own penalty in coarseness, 
length of back, etc. Personally, I have always believed a height at the 
shoulder or a weight limit unnecessary. Unfortunately, show Terriers are 
seldom if ever called upon to do their work, however, they should be of 
such a size that they could perform their legitimate work if called upon. 
It is really conformation, make and shape that counts in determining 
size. A Terrier too small is quite as much out of place as one too large. 
Moderation and proportion are what should govern. The correct size is the 
"happy medium," excluding the dwarfs and the giants of the breed — or 
handicapping both extremes in the juding ring. Weight alone is absolutely 
no indication of size — a thick, heavy built, low, cloddy, cobby type of dog 
will weigh a surprising amount more than he seems to weigh, probably a 

73 



lot more than a (log an inch or even two inches higher at the shoulder and 
a lot bigger looking. If any one is inclined to doubt this — try guessing the 
weight of a few Airedales whose actual weight is known. 

In size, then, always go for the .medium size, well proportioned, well 
balanced dog — such a dog that can do the work of the breed if called upon — 
at the same time is not unnecessarily over boned and -over sized. Remember, 
it is make and shape that count.

The above standard, note, and scale of points is the official standard adopted 
by the Airedale Terrier Club of America, the parent Airedale Terrier Club in 
the United States, founded eighteen years ago by Mr. A. D. Cochrane, Mr. J. 
L. Arden, Mr. James Mortimer, Mr. W. L. Barclay, and Mr. Faissell H. Johnson, 
Jr. In spite of several discussions and agitations, the Airedale Terrier Stand- 
ard remains today the same as when first adopted and formed by Airedale 
Terrier Club.

points are given for general character and expression — these points not being 
specified at all in the Standard. 

It might be comparatively easy to make a model of a perfect Airedale 
Terrier, but no amount of skill could give it character. Just what gives 
character to a dog is hard to define. But there are certain things absolutely 

74 



essential — first, to have true character the dog must be correct in type — by 
this is meant conformation ; he must have proper make and shape properly 
combined; he must be of the happy medium in size, and all parts must be 
in proper proportion to the whole. Good and true action, or liberty, as 
some term it, is also an essential to true character. Many an Airedale makes 
a charming picture posed on the block — but we lose the charm the moment 
the dog is in action. The dog may have head, front, legs, feet, body, hind- 
quarters, coat, color, but he should be severely handicapped if he has not 
got good action. The forelegs should move straight from the shoulder; the 
swing of the forearm should be free, light and easy; there should be no 
weaving motion from side to side, and no nervous thrusting of the knee.

(Kansas City, Mo. 

The hindquarters should move in perfect unison with the forequarters — 
straight and true, the stride should be long and graceful, the action of the 
hocks perfectly level — the whole progression giving a sense of smoothness, 
unison and suppleness, a capacity to gallop and an ease in making sudden 
turns. A dog lacking this liberty and smoothness in his action is usually 
wrong in conformation, and is lacking in character. Other considerations that 
give an Airedale good character are a correct disposition, temperament, 
brains or what one wishes to call the characteristic that shows a dog is 
game, ready to show, ready for a scrap or for anything that comes along — 
this quite distinct from quarrelsomeness or nastiness in disposition — which 
should properly be penalized as such a dog is lacking real Airedale character 
— the ability to mind his own business till put on. 

A good snappy carriage at all times, whether standing or in motion, adds 
to character, and finally a dog must have that elusive property termed quality, 

75 



perhaps the rarest thing to find, certainly only about one in fifty truly have 
quality — truly, quality is perfection in all points — neatness, carriage in ac- 
tion and repose, strength and muscle without coarseness, a smart, snappy, 
alert general appearance, and true proportion everywhere. 

Expression is the last and most important consideration — it is the key- 
note of character, the expression of the eyes showing the disposition and 
character of the Airedale— Sedate, sober, minding his own business, but with 
a quiet courageousness ready to "carry on" to a finish with credit any 
time he goes "over the top."

The Earlwood Airedale Terriers 

The strain that has produced some of the greatest 
dogs of the breed, defeating the best of imported and 
American-bred champions. 

AT STUD 

Champion Earlwood Warlock 

A. K. C. 218750 

Warlock is by the sensational Earlwood Hickory 
Limb out of Isabella Faustine, sister to Hickory 
Limb's clam. He won his championship at the 
largest show under the best judges. For two years 
he won the trophies of the Airedale Terrier Club of 
America for the best American-bred dog of the 
vear. Twice he was best in the show all breeds, at 
Detroit, 1918 and Chicago, 1919. 

Mr. W. Edgar Baker, Jr., reviewing in "Field and 
Fancy" the specialty show of the Airedale Terrier Club 
of America at New York, February, 1919, says of him: 

"Personally, I can find nothing to criticize in this dog. He is 
my ideal of a terrier and of an Airedale. Beautifully bal- 
anced everywhere, all parts in perfect proportion to the whole; 
the right size, a bright red tan, black coat, hard and plenty of 
it. a head long enough and strong enough in foreface with 
just the right amount of whisker to give the proper amount of 
character to the dog, a lovely outline, level top line, lovely 
arched neck, and a great mover and shower. When Mr. 
Perrin placed this dog at the top at the last Detroit show, I 
rather guessed that he had come on well as I have a good 
opinion of Mr. Perrin's eye for an Airedale. I have seen most 
of the great Airedales past and present in this country and in 
England. I don't believe it possible to compare the past with 
the present even with a retentive memory of any Airedale that 
has been carefully gone over, but I can truthfully say that I 
consider Mr. Woodward's dog as near the standard and per- 
fection as any dog I have seen or ever expect to see. To my 
mind this dog is the type of Airedale we should all breed and 
strive to produce." 

The Earlwood Airedale Terriers are noted for 
their correct type, for their wonderful coats and 
color, perfect legs and feet, flat skulls with good 
eyes and ears. Their style and character is unsur- 
passed. 

Puppies and grown dogs usually for sale. Stud cards 
and all particulars gladly furnished. Address the owner

There i( probably no Dog Remedy so widely 
known and so implicitly relied on by Dog Owners 
throughout the United States and Canada as these 
great little 

VERMICIDE CAPSULES 

There is no other Worm Remedy, put up in any 
form whatever, that possesses the wonderful Com- 
bination feature which distincuishes V. Cs., namely i 
that of destroying and expelling with equal prompt- 
ness and efficacy 

all three of the great parasitic 
scourges of the dog — the Tape 
Worm, the Round Worm, and the 
Hook Worm, 

No other Worm Remedy covers the ground so com- 
pletely. Furthermore, VERMICIDE CAPSULES 
are absolutely harmless, even to the most delicate 
animal. VERMICIDE CAPSULES "deliver 
the goods." and get the worms without getting the pup. 
V. Cs. comes in one size.

MEDICINES THAT HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME 

The C. S. R. Skin Remedy 

for Dogs, Cats and Foxes 

Prepared from the most scientific formulas and thoroughly tested 
before being placed on the market for the approval of fanciers. 

The dog, cat, and Fox, like other animals, are liable to suffer from 
a variety of skin diseases, some of which assume an acute form, whereas 
others are of a chronic nature. It may be accepted, as a general rule 
that once a skin disease becomes thoroughly established, it is a difficult 
matter to eradicate it. There are not many skin troubles that are of a 
contagious nature. When an animal has skin disease they should not be 
allowed to associate with others. 

One of the greatest errors made by fanciers is that all skin troubles 
can be cured by the application of greases, ointments, etc. This is a 
fallacy which should be recognized at once. The only successful remedies 
are those that combine internal as well as external treatment. This is 
the one feature that has made the 

C. S. R. SKIN REMEDY SUCCESSFUL. 

It is put up in a combination of three remedies : First, one to pre- 
pare the animal for the permanent relief, this is followed by purifying 
the blood, and then the healing salve.

NOT NECESSARY TO STARVE THE PUPPY 

Miss Erma B. Sllke, Editor Collie Department in Field 
and Fancy, January 31, 1920 

We recently have come across a vermifuge which we have been 
using with excellent results. The firm putting out this product claims 
that it is not necessary to starve a puppy and thus weaken its constitu- 
tion or to use remedies so strong that they will injure the puppy's delicate 
intestinal tract. They do not advertise the product or make extravagant 
claims for it, but it is the result of years of scientific study along this 
line. The remedy is administered in tablet form in divided doses, three 
times a day for three days. My experience with the remedy was (and I 
have used it on nine Collies) that all symptoms of worms gradually 
disappeared and the puppy was transformed from a bad doer to a healthy 
youngster that put on flesh and grew like a weed. It is not my desire 
to advertise the products of any firm, but this medicine has proven such 
a life-saver in my kennel that I feel that I wish to share my discovery 
and I gladly give the information to fellow-breeders who have spent the 
days and the nights nursing wormy puppies as I have. 

THE ABOVE TELLS THE WHOLE STORY 



DIRECTIONS FOR GIVING THE M. & M. TABLETS 

In using the M. M. WORM TABLETS the dose should be varied 
according to the size of the dog. For Toys and pups, the correct dosage is 
one tablet three times a day for three days. For dogs about the size of 
Collies, three tablets three times a day for three days. For the largest 
breeds, five tablets! may be given at each dose and the dose given three 
times a day for three days. No fasting or purging is necessary. If it is more 
satisfactory to give the remedy in liquid form, crush the tablets and dis- 
solve in a little water or milk.

THE MEDICINES THAT CURE. 

The C. S. R. Worm Remedy. 

As a companion to their Distemper Remedy, the C. S. R. Corp. 
have placed on the market their C. S. R. Worm Remedy, and claim for it 
that it is the one remedy which will positively eradicate worms without 
leaving the dog or young puppy in a weakened or strained condition. 

Next to Distemper, there is probably no disease which proves more fatal 
to young stock than the presence of worms. It being a safe assertion that 
95% of all dogs raised have worms. THE C. S. R. WORM REMEDY 
contains ingredients which are not harmful in any way, are devoid of 
santonine and areca nut, and, by following the directions carefully, your 
dog will be kept in perfect condition. 

The medicine is easy to give, thoroughly efficacious, and the effect is 
immediate. If worms are present, large quantities will be brought away 
within a very short time. No ill effects to the dog's health result from the 
use of this specific. Puppies that have just left the dam may be given a 
tablet with safety. 

The C. S. R. Worm Remedy is a tonic remedy that performs a double 
service. It thoroughly cleanses and strengthens the stomach and intes- 
tinal canals, rendering them an unfit abiding place for worms, and at the 
same time keeping the dog not only free from this pest, but prevents a 
further attack. 

AS A WORM PREVENTIVE. 

If a dose is given once a week your dog will not be troubled in the 
least with parasites. It cannot be too firmly impressed on the mind of 
the dog owtier that when it is known that a dog has worms a remedy is 
absolutely necessary, and that in the C. S. R. Worm Remedy fanciers 
have found a remedy which will prove of inestimable value to them. 

DIRECTIONS FOR GIVING THE C. S. R. WORM REMEDY. 

It is. always necessary, to get the very best results, to prepare the dog 
before giving the remedy. Give at night a small feed of milk or broth, and 
in the morning, fasting, give the capsules as directed. 

FOR PUPPIES OF ANY BREED, give one capsule. Repeat this dose 
for three days, fasting, as before, if no worms are passed after the first 
dosing. 

FOR GROWN DOGS, under 35 pounds, 2 capsules. Over 35 pounds, 
3 capsules. This treatment should invariably be repeated in two weeks to 
eradicate any worms from eggs that were not destroyed at the original 
treatment. jjtm
